Description
For this project, we have to brainstorm a theme for a board game with our group mates, and make a board game revolves around the theme. For the board game, we are required to have multiple types of reactions, which includes: single replacement, double replacement, and production of gas. In addition we are required to explain why each reaction occur, and we have to create a blueprint of our board game. The main purpose of this project to learn how different kind of reactions work.

Reactions
Important Concepts
Reactants: A substance that takes part in and undergoes change during a reaction.
Product: The results of a reaction.
Subatomic Particles: particles much smaller than atoms. For example: Protons, Neutron, and electrons.
Types of reactions: See above for more information.
Reactivity Series: an empirical, calculated, and structurally analytical progression of a series of metals, arranged by their "reactivity" from highest to lowest. It is used to summarize information about the reactions of metals with acids and water.
Solubility Guidelines: A solubility chart is a chart with a list of ions and how, when mixed with other ions, they can become precipitates or remain aqueous.

Reflection
This project was the first Stem chemistry project that I have done for this school year, due to this I was pretty excited for the upcoming work. My team members consist of those who are ready to work, but does not know what they are doing, and those who does not really want to work at all. Due to this, Someone else and me had to take up the leadership position. Because of I took the leadership position, I finally learned some leadership skills. I have to make sure everything is on schedule, sure the reaction equations are correct, and make sure everyone understand the concepts. Also, I learned how to use the reactivity scale to make a single replacement reaction. During this project, I noticed somethings that could be improved upon. For example, our group need to be more efficient on the first and second days of the project because our group need to brainstorm more about the theme of the game, so we can make a more interesting game. Furthermore, we need to make better use of our time at the end of the project, so we can refine our game, and practice our presentations.
