Equilibrium Changing Conditions Lesson

Changing the Conditions of Equilibrium Lesson

This full lesson includes a lesson PowerPoint with student activities and tasks included within the document. Answers are also included at each stage for student review. This lesson focusses on how the position of equilibrium can change in a chemical reaction based on exposed conditions e.g. temperature, concentration and pressure. Follow up activities include an assessment worksheet as well as a plenary recap.

Included in the lesson:

Engaging starter task
Lesson objectives

2. Concentration on equilibrium (inc. question/answers)
3. Temperature on equilibrium (inc. question/answers)
4. Catalysts on equilibrium (inc. question/answers)
   Summary quiz and recap
   Reflective RAG assessment worksheet

This lesson is ideal for students who have prior knowledge on what ‘equilibrium’ means but are new to how changing conditions alters the position of equilibrium. The lesson engages students through linked activities which are fully resourced and come with accompanying answers.

The resource is a Powerpoint presentation with an accompanying PDF copy, so the resource can be edited and there is also a print-ready version for included worksheets.
