Thermodynamics and Equilibrium
Lesson Hook:
Students will be given some materials to make flash cards with. They may not understand what they are working with, but the consolidation will clear things up. The purpose of this is for the students to get familiar with some of the terms for this lesson.
Lesson:
In this lesson, students will be able to explore the entropy changes associated with the physical and chemical processes. The instructor will explain the effect on change in enthalpy, entropy, and temperature on equilibrium, and how they affect each of the reactions. Gibbs free energy is introduced, and is incorporated with temperature, enthalpy, and entropy to
‘Reactions have the tendency to minimize energy and maximize entropy’. This is an important concept to have down, and it will help the students when they get into sections involving Le Chatelier’s principle.
The section should be summarized with a table of "How the signed of entropy and enthalpy affect the favourability of a reaction.

Consolidation:
Students will play a simple memory game with their partners. Partners will present their cards that they made during the lesson hook. Each of the cards should have a match, and they will take turns to find the match of the first card they pick up. Whoever has the most pair of cards will win the match.
