    Access is an AACT member benefit. Activity: Balancing Equations with Note Cards

    In this activity, students will balance equations and get immediate feedback on whether they are accurate or not while trying to solve a challenge. This activity works best as a review activity after balancing and the law of conservation of matter has been taught.

  • Reaction Rate, Reaction Rate | Middle School, High School

    Simulation: Reaction Rates

    In the May 2018 simulation, students investigate several factors that can affect the initial rate of a chemical reaction, including concentration, temperature, surface area of the reactants, and addition of a catalyst.

  • Reaction Rate, Reaction Rate | Middle School, High School

    Access is an AACT member benefit. Activity: Simulation Activity: Investigating Reaction Rates

    In this simulation, students will have the opportunity to investigate several factors that can affect the initial rate of a chemical reaction. Students will have the opportunity to manipulate several variables including concentration, temperature, or surface area of the reactants as well as the addition of a catalyst during the simulation. These reaction rates will be compared to a controlled reaction. Students will interpret a simplified qualitative representation of the reaction as well as analyze corresponding data organized on a graph.

  • Balancing Equations, Conservation of Mass | Middle School, High School

    Access is an AACT member benefit. Activity: Balancing Legos

    In this activity students use Legos to model the reactants and products in a chemical reaction. They use these “atoms” and “molecules” to balance the chemical reaction in order to demonstrate the law of conservation of matter.

  • Balancing Equations, Conservation of Mass, Photosynthesis | Middle School

    Activity: Achieving a Photosynthetic Balance

    In this activity, students will use candies to model the rearrangement of atoms from reactant to products during photosynthesis.
