Energy in chemical reactions

A revision poster on energy reactions summarising the key-points on;

• what is a chemical reaction
• identifying chemical reactions
• identifying endothermic and exothermic reactions (including simple experiment summaries)
• factors affecting the rate of reactions
• the collision theory
• reaction/energy profiles
• activation energy

My students stick this revision poster/chart into their copy book at the start or end of the chapter content delivery. I use these revision posters to show students the importance of chunk revising. They spend time recalling/memorising the key-points; some students will create their own revision resource to suit their learning style by using this content eg. a mind-map, flash cards and some create their own audio recordings to help.
