Content Videos (Lectures and animations to supplement lessons):
- Reaction Rates
- The Rate Law
- Reaction Quotient
- Equilibrium & Reversible Reactions
- Equilibrium Constant
Interactives (Online activities for student interaction & practice with content):
- Reactants, Products & Leftovers Simulation (students create their own sandwich and then see how many sandwiches they can make with different amounts of ingredients. Do the same with chemical reactions. See how many products you can make with different amounts of reactants)
- Reaction & Rates Simulation (students explore what makes a reaction happen by colliding atoms and molecules. Design experiments with different reactions, concentrations, and temperatures. When are reactions reversible? What affects the rate of a reaction?)
- Limiting Reactants Simulation
- Method of Initial Rates Simulation
- Rate of a Chemical Reaction Simulation
- Balancing Chemical Equations Simulation (students inquire: How do I know if a chemical equation is balanced? What can I change to balance an equation?)
- Le Chatelier’s Principle (students measure the equilibrium amounts of carbon, water, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen for the steam reforming reaction as the analytical amounts of the various species are changed)
- Temperature Dependence of Reaction Rates Simulation
Games (Online games for students to apply & test their content knowledge):
- Rate of Reaction Jeopardy! (one or two player jeopardy game about reaction rates)
- Reactants, Products and Leftovers (Create your own sandwich and then see how many sandwiches you can make with different amounts of ingredients. Do the same with chemical reactions. See how many products you can make with different amounts of reactants. Play a game to test your understanding of reactants, products and leftovers. Can you get a perfect score on each level?)
