This excel spreadsheet provides good simulation of the Haber process where you can adjust the proportions of the raw materials, the temperature, the catalyst and the pressure to find out how much ammonia you make. Get it right and you can maximise your profit per day!

Students can work individually on this activity or the simulation can be projected and used with the whole class.
There is also a worksheet to help students think through the process at the molecular level along with notes and answers for the teacher.

Not enough notes to explain how to use this. The simulation looks good, but with no information on the amount of catalyst or flow rate of reactants, it is hard to understand how students would hit upon the actual conditions that are used in the Haber process. I couldn't figure it out, neither could my husband who is an engineer working with high pressure flow systems.
I am a chemical engineer setting up a short project for a GCSE student work experience. The simulation is quite graphic and helpful but a little clunky and the notes are definitely limited.
