Conservation of Mass
Using mole ratios to show mass is conserved and tracking how effort adds up even when results are not yet visible.
- Students will
- Students use mole ratios and molar masses to show that mass is conserved and to explain where the mass of a dissolving tablet goes.
- SEL skill
- Track small efforts that add up before results are visible
- What it looks like
- Students practice self-motivation by tracking effort that adds up before results are visible.
- Content focus
- Conservation of Mass
- Format
- Partner exchange
