We are living in a Material World...Reactions Speak Louder Than Words Developing the Language of Chemistry-The Quest For Today's Gold

An Integrated, Interdisciplinary, Thematic Study of Chemical Reactions Matter is all that can be touched on our earth. Reactions, both physical and chemical, account for changes in matter. Reactions, man made and natural, cause changes in matter that have positive and negative consequences. Students will gain an understanding how to observe reactions in chemistry; they will understand why the elements are organized the way they are on the periodic table.
