Classify reactants and products
Students in grades 6–8 classify reactants and products in chemical reactions, building the conceptual vocabulary needed to read and interpret chemical equations. Teachers can use this worksheet as a formative check after introducing the law of conservation of mass and the structure of chemical equations in Physical Science. It grounds abstract chemistry content in the concrete skill of sorting substances by their role in a reaction.
Learning objectives
- Classify substances as reactants or products in a chemical equation
