Produced by the LSIS, this practical activity is designed to engage learners in discussion about momentum and to help them to predict the possible effects of a collision. You may choose to perform a demonstration, using a simple runway, ball bearings and magnets, and then ask pairs or groups of students to try it...

These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:

• Select a particle diagram to correctly show the rearrangement of atoms during a chemical reaction.

• Interpret the quantitative meaning of a chemical equation.
