Deepen learners’ understanding of interpreting chemical equations by exploring the topic at different conceptual levels
Developing understanding is a series of resources that encourage learners to connect their thinking at the macroscopic, sub-microscopic and symbolic levels. This worksheet explores interpreting chemical equations, helping learners connect meaning and building their understanding. Based on Johnstone’s triangle, an icon in the margin indicates the conceptual level of thinking that learners need to access in order to successfully answer each question and understanding builds throughout.
