4. Balancing Chemical Equations—Gaining Knowledge
Research on how to balance chemical equations then share your information with your classmates.
MODIFICATION
Technology allows for
significant task redesign.
Each group will research balancing chemical equations and find at least 1 fact per person using Gale’s Science in Context database.
1. Go to
2. Click on Programs/Resources, then select Digital Media Resources
3. Scroll down and select Gale Resources
4. Use search to find relevant material.
2.Once the research is completed, add facts and sources to a PowerPoint Slide.
3. When all groups have completed the task, each group will present and provide information on their research.
