Predicting the Direction of a Reaction (I)
Lesson Hook:
Begin this lesson with a water tank analogy. Let the students explore this, and understand this. Lesson: While the water tank analogy is still fresh in the students' minds, introduce them to Le Chatelier's Principle. Applications of Le Chatelier's Principle should be made as well, incorporating it into problems. This will be a good time for the introduction to the reaction quotient. If necessary, the video below can aid in your teaching. Consolidation:
A simulation of the principle from Gizmos can be used for consolidation. Gizmos 1 will provide a virtual lab space for the students to explore. To ensure the students are doing their work, assign them the worksheet provided from the site as homework. |
