What should a 7th grader know about atoms and reactions?

In 7th grade, students learn that all matter is made of atoms, that atoms join into molecules, and that chemical reactions rearrange atoms into new substances. After this unit they can tell a physical change from a chemical one and balance a simple equation. Grade levels vary by country and school.

How does looping help with balancing equations?

Set an A–B loop on one example in Khan Academy's "Worked examples: Balancing chemical equations". Watch it, pause, try the same equation on paper, then replay the loop to check each step. Slowing it to 0.75× gives time to count the atoms on both sides.

Frequently asked questions

How is this playlist ordered?

It starts with what an atom is, moves to elements and the periodic table, then compounds and molecules. Next come physical and chemical changes, chemical reactions and conservation of mass, and it ends with worked examples of balancing equations and energy in reactions.

Can I keep chemistry review sessions short?

Yes. Use Stop after N loops so a video stops after a set number of plays, and save the parts you need most, such as the periodic table walkthrough, on the number keys 1–9 for quick review.
