2. Venn Diagrams
Students can be grouped or paired off and asked to do research on chemical and nuclear reactions. Students will then have to create a Venn diagram comparing and contrasting the two types of reactions, Ideally students will have internet access for their research. If technology access is limited, students can be provided with text from the internet or textbook for the activity. The buttons below link to webpages with that provide information on both chemical and nuclear reactions and how they are similar as well as different.
