This FREE Chemistry Packet includes printable worksheets which introduce students to Balancing Chemical Equations. The answer keys are also provided!
The first balancing chemical page introduces the seven diatomic molecules. Students also practice counting the number of atoms of each element in a molecule. The second page introduces coefficients. Coefficients tell us how many molecules of a given formula are present.
The next two worksheets have students practice balancing chemical equations.
Count the atoms on each side. Change the coefficient of one of the substances. Recount the numbers of atoms again to determine if each side is balanced, if it is not change another coefficient. Repeat the process until the two sides balance.
The final page covers synthesis, decomposition and combustion reactions. Students practice balancing these reactions and determining which type of reaction it is.
synthesis reaction: In this reaction, a new compound is formed by the combination of simpler reactions.
decomposition In this reaction, a reactant breaks down into simpler products, which could be elements or other compounds. These can be thought of as the reverse of synthesis reactions.
combustion In this reaction, one reactant is always oxygen and another reactant often contains carbon and hydrogen. The carbon and hydrogen atoms combine with the oxygen, producing carbon dioxide and water.
This Balancing Chemical Equations Packet is FREE to download! I hope it is helpful. I have also added this packet to both Chemistry BUNDLES. To see more about our Chemistry Units be sure to visit our Chemistry BUNDLE page (with lots more pictures and details) or scroll down below. Our chemistry packets are also sold separately.
Our packets are all PDF digital downloads.
The Balancing Chemical Equations Worksheet Set is free! Your order email from SendOwl (the automatic delivery service I use) may say “Thank you for your order” or “Thank you for your purchase” or something similar, but it does not cost anything.
If you have any questions, feel free to email me! I hope this set is helpful! ~Liesl

You can also purchase these chemistry packets separately (See more pictures below or at our Chemistry Page.)
$2.99 Introduction to Chemistry – Size of Atoms Mini-Unit
$5.99 States of Matter Packet (50+pages)
$7.99 Properties of Matter Packet (now close to 100 pages) – Learn about the structure of atoms; Elements & Compounds; Molecular vs. structural formulas; Physical and Chemical Properties; Basic definitions (of terms such as viscosity, elasticity, capillarity, ductility, malleability, etc.); Hands-On Activities of some of these properties (viscosity, cohesion, capillary action, etc.); Density Activities; Mixtures: Solutions, Colloids and Suspensions; Separating Mixtures; Review Materials; Building Molecules Activities (and activity cards)
$6.99 Electricity & Circuits Packet (30+pages)
$8.99 Chemistry Packet – An introduction to the Periodic Table (150 pages) – Learn how the periodic table is organized and find out more about the different groups of the periodic table (Alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, halogens). Learn what valence electrons are and do some fun activities to create Lewis structures. Learn about the first twenty elements as well as elements with unusual names. Plus, learn about electron configuration and more! (We did this primarily in middle school, but did electron configuration in high school again.)
$2.99 pH Scale – Acids and Bases Worksheet Packet (25 pages) – Includes material for younger students (elementary/middle school) and older (high school) students.
$7.99 Ions and Isotopes Chemistry Unit (125 pages) This unit is an introduction to ions (which have fewer or more electrons) and isotopes (which have fewer or more isotopes). This unit should be done after students have completed the Chemistry Unit. (middle school/high school)
$9.99 Organic Chemistry Unit (100+ pages) Organic chemistry is the chemistry of carbon-containing molecules. In this unit, we study many of the organic compounds that include carbon and hydrogen (hydrocarbons), carbon-carbon molecules and more! This unit covers hydrocarbons, functional side groups and the four classes of macromolecules: carbohydrates, proteins, fats and nucleic acids. *high school level unit
—————-
The Energy Packet is not included in the Chemistry Bundle (it is included in the Earth Science & Physical Science Bundle of 10), but is closely related to some chemistry concepts – particularly when it comes to waves (amplitude, frequency and so forth).
$7.99 Energy Packet: Kinetic vs. Potential Energy, Types and Sources of Energy, Renewable and Non-renewable Resources, Waves & the Electromagnetic Spectrum, Fossil Fuels, the Carbon Cycle and more! (100 pages) View Post or View image 1, image 2, image 3, image 4, image 5, image 6, image 7, image 8, image 9, image 10, image 11, image 12
The Pathogens Packet is not included in the Chemistry Bundle (it is included in the Biology Bundle), but would go well with the Introduction to Chemistry – Size of Atoms mini-unit.
$8.99 Pathogens Packet (100 pages) – This unit covers the six major living and nonliving pathogens: bacteria, protozoa, fungi and parasites/worms as well as viruses and prions. The large majority of this packet goes into detail about bacteria and viruses. See more information about the Pathogens Unit here.
