Do you struggle to find the time to fit all the content in when teaching equilibrium reactions in chemistry? This print-and-go resource is designed to save you as much time as possible while still ensuring students have a full set of notes and diagrams! These notes provide a scaffolded introduction to equilibrium and non-equilibrium reactions suitable for year 11 and year 12 high school chemistry students. The video shows real chemistry experiments to demonstrate examples of reversible and irreversible chemical reactions, open and closed systems, and complete and incomplete chemical reactions.

This resource is perfect for classroom or online learning.

What this resource covers:

• Closed and open systems

• Reversible and irreversible reactions

• Static and dynamic equilibrium

• Signs of an equilibrium reaction

• Non-equilibrium reactions

• Review of entropy and enthalpy

• Review of Gibbs free energy

Note: This resource does not cover Le Chatelier’s Principle. Please see ‘related resources’ below for those covering Le Chatelier’s Principle.

What is included:

• 16 pages of scaffolded notes / worksheets 

• 16 pages full teacher answers

• 37 Teaching slides of the notes with the answers (animated) both in Powerpoint and Google Slides versions

• 2 x BONUS videos created by me using similar language, diagrams and examples that can be used to support this resource

Note: This resource was designed to teach the Australian NSW curriculum for stage 6 Chemistry.
