5E’s LESSON PLAN
Subject: Chemical Equilibrium
Grade Level: Grade 12
Objective: - Explain chemical equilibrium and equilibrium constant. - Identify factors that influence equilibrium position according to Chatelier's Principle. - Define acids and bases according to the Arrhenius theory.
Learning across curriculum:
1) Physics - The concept of equilibrium in chemical reactions can be related to the equilibrium of forces in physics, where balanced forces result in a stable system. 2) Mathematics - Equilibrium constant calculations involve mathematical expressions and formulas, linking chemical equilibrium to mathematical problem-solving skills. 3) Biology - Understanding equilibrium in chemical systems can be connected to homeostasis in biological systems, where internal conditions are maintained in a balanced state.
ENGAGE: - Teaching Strategy: Role-Playing - Instructional Materials: Visual Aids 1) Idea - Conduct a role-playing activity where students act as different chemical species in equilibrium reactions to understand the dynamic nature of equilibrium. 2) Idea - Use a K-W-L to assess students' prior knowledge, guide their learning process, and evaluate their understanding of the topic.
EXPLORE: Activity 1: Equilibrium Experiment - Teaching Strategy: Experiential Learning - Materials: Chemicals for a reversible reaction, test tubes, pH indicators - Significance: Students will observe and analyze the changes in equilibrium position based on altering reaction conditions. - Instructions: Perform a reversible reaction, record observations, and discuss the factors affecting equilibrium. - Rubric - Observations (5 pts), Analysis (5 pts), Conclusion (5 pts) Assessment Questions: 1) What happens to the equilibrium position if the concentration of a reactant is increased? 2) How does temperature affect the equilibrium constant of a reaction? 3) Explain how a catalyst influences the equilibrium position.
EXPLAIN: Utilize the Socratic Method to engage students in a dialogue-based explanation of the equilibrium concept, equilibrium constant, and the principles of Chatelier and Arrhenius.
ELABORATE: - Teaching Strategy: Problem-Based Learning Task 1 - Analyze a real-life scenario involving a chemical equilibrium system and predict the effects of changing conditions on the equilibrium position. Task 2 - Create a concept map illustrating the relationships between chemical equilibrium, equilibrium constant, and factors influencing equilibrium.
EVALUATE: - Teaching Strategy: Inquiry-Based Learning - Instructional Materials: Technology Integration Question 1 - How does the addition of an inert gas affect the equilibrium position of a reaction? Question 2 - Compare and contrast the Arrhenius and Bronsted-Lowry definitions of acids and bases. Question 3 - Explain the impact of pressure changes on equilibrium in a gaseous reaction.
Assignment: 1) Research Assignment - Investigate and present a case study on an industrial process that utilizes chemical equilibrium principles. 2) Problem-Solving Assignment - Solve equilibrium constant calculation problems and provide explanations for each step.
