Reaction Notebook Guide
Essential Question:
*Matter can neither be created nor destroyed,
but what are the different ways it can change
form in a chemical reaction?
Guiding Questions:
* How do you know a reaction is happening?
*What are the ways atoms can rearrange in a
reaction?
*What happens to energy in a reaction?
A/4 = Deep scientific thinking shown in all
assignments. Research is thorough and includes
additional sources for deep digging, diagrams are
colored, labeled and explained, observations and lab
write ups are thorough and show a deep
understanding of the science concepts behind the
lab/demo/activity.
B/3 = All assignments are complete; more detail
could be added to show greater understanding
C/2 = Basic foundation, all assignments are
included but may be missing parts
D/1 = Not enough work to show understanding,
can’t read/find assignments, missing one or more
assignments
