Let's look at a few assessment scenarios. Try to determine what type of assessment is being used, formal or informal. 1  Example 1. 2  A kindergarten teacher sets aside the first 15 minutes of every day to allow students to explore, play or engage in any activity of their choice.
Chemical bonds are made or broken in order to create a new molecule. One example of a chemical reaction is the rusting of a steel garbage can. That rusting happens because the iron (Fe) in the metal combines with oxygen (O2) in the atmosphere. Chemical bonds are created and destroyed to finally make iron oxide (Fe2O3).
With these equations, an arrow is used to indicate that a chemical reaction has taken place. In general terms, a chemical reaction follows this format: ReactantsâProducts. For example, take a look at the reaction that occurs when you light your natural gas range. Methane (natural gas) reacts with the oxygen in the atmosphere to produce carbon dioxide and water vapor. The chemical equation that represents this reaction is written like this:
