Friday 12/12 in Google Classroom

Friday 12/12

Create a slides similar to the one attached using your own characters for the reaction "Love Story" we went  over in class. 

 Where I used Flintstones characters, you must pick your own characters from a movie, show, cartoon, book, etc. Your characters/pictures that you choose must be appropriate and make as much sense as possible. 

Requirements:
-Title Slide
-Two slides per classification type
      -One slide defining what occurs during the type of reaction and a real example of a balanced reaction that I DID NOT use in notes
      -One slide of the characters you choose to represent the classification type

If you get stuck and cannot use the same set of characters to represent all five types like I showed you, you may choose a different set of characters to represent different classifications.  Get creative!

Submit  your slides here.
