Help your learners develop mental models of what is represented in balanced chemical equation for ionic compounds with this resource, including teacher notes and a student worksheet 

This resource supports learners understanding of how balanced chemical equations show the ratio in which atoms, molecules and ions of different substances react or are produced, developing their thinking on three core levels: macroscopic, sub-microscopic, and symbolic. Learners move through these three levels to develop more secure mental models that support their thinking about this topic.
