mole ratio

If you have seen some of my previous webinars*, you probably have heard me mention that I use interactive notebooks in my chemistry I classes. Today, I’m going to share the first of many units: stoichiometry. Keep an eye out because gas laws and thermochemistry will be coming very soon!

Stoichiometry is one of the most fundamental topics in a high school chemistry course, but it is also one of the most challenging concepts for students to master.¹ Stoichiometry is abstract, making it challenging to learn and teach.² As with any abstract concept, activities that encourage conceptual thinking tend to promote a deepe

There is a lab that is called something like “The Mole Rocket Lab” or  “Micro Rockets”. Some of you may be familiar with the lab, but I wanted to write this post to share it with teachers who may not be aware of it. 

In a recent post, I shared sample quiz questions as to how I have differentiated assessment within the mole unit. Here, I will share a specific multi-day sequence within the stoichiometry unit.
