📚 Part 1: WALT, Success Criteria & Multiple Choice

WALT: We are learning to balance simple chemical equations by showing the same number of each atom on both sides.

Success criteria: - Balance at least two simple equations. - Use coefficients (not change subscripts). - Explain the conservation of atoms in one sentence.

✏️ Part 2: Balance These Equations (show working)

Answer: ____ H₂ + ____ O₂ → ____ H₂O

Answer: ____ N₂ + ____ H₂ → ____ NH₃

Answer: ____ Fe + ____ O₂ → ____ Fe₂O₃

Answer: ____ C₃H₈ + ____ O₂ → ____ CO₂ + ____ H₂O

Answer: ____ Al + ____ O₂ → ____ Al₂O₃

Differentiation: Use colour-coded cards or counters to represent atoms; work with a partner if needed.

Extension: Try balancing equations with polyatomic ions that stay together (e.g., Ca(OH)₂ + HCl → CaCl₂ + H₂O).

Dyslexia-friendly tip: Colour each element consistently when using cards or manipulatives to reduce confusion.
