Essential Question: How are different pollutants made?
Phenomenon: There are many different kinds of pollutants that come from different places and different chemicals. There are different types of chemical reactions that create different products.
Part 1: Equation Sort Patterns Challenge
How can patterns in chemical equations help us organize them into categories?
Question 1
1.
Challenge: Sort the “equations” in Set #1 into up to five (5) different categories.
Rules:
There must be at LEAST 3 equations in each group
Equal sign location matters. 1 + 2 = 3 cannot be in the same group as 3 = 1 + 2
1 + 2 = 3
22 + 55 = 25 + 52
6 = 4 + 2
A + B = C
C = A + B
AB + CD = AD + BC
AB + C = AC + B
🌲🔥+ 🌬= 🌲🌬 + 🔥🌬
👗🙍 + 👠 = 👗👠 + 🙍
😀 + 💛 = 😍
⛄🎿 + 🏂🏔 = ⛄🏔 + 🏂🎿
21 + 5 = 25 + 1
☔ =🌻 + 💐
CH + O = CO + HO
10 + 1 = 11 + 01

Question 3
3.
Challenge:
Sort the chemical equations in Set #2 into up to five (5) different categories.
Rules:
There must be at LEAST 3 equations in each group
Arrow location matters. 1 + 2 → 3 cannot be in the same group as 3 → 1 + 2
Ag2S + Al → Al2S3 + Ag
SO2 + O2 → SO3
CO + O2 → CO2
H2CO3 → CO2 + H2O
CaCO3 + H2SO4 → H2CO3 + CaSO4
ZnS + 3O2 → ZnO + 2SO2
NO2 + H2O + O2 → HNO3
Cu + H2SO4 → CuSO4 + H2
H2O2 → H2O + O2
Na3PO4 + Al2(SO4)3→ Na2SO4 + AlPO4
Ca + 2H2O → Ca(OH)2 + H2
H2SO4 → SO3 + H2O
BaCl2 + MgSO4 → BaSO4 + MgCl2
CH4 + O2 → H2O + CO2
C8H18 + O2 → H2O + CO2

Watch the video on Types of Chemical Reactions.
Reflect: What are the 5 types of chemical reactions, were you right? Go back to your categories in #3 and see how you did! What did you get right? What might have gone wrong and why? Also, this video showed one additional type: Acid-Base Reactions (we might get to the later!).
