Balancing Equations Using Periodic Table Puzzle Pieces

This document contains two examples of balancing chemical equations using puzzle pieces representing elements and compounds. The first example shows the unbalanced and balanced equations for the reaction of hydrogen and carbon to form methane. The second example shows the unbalanced and balanced equations for the reaction of aluminum and oxygen to form aluminum oxide. Balancing chemical equations ensures the same number of atoms are on each side of the reaction.
