EALR 4: Physical Science
Big Idea: Matter: Properties and Change
Core Content: Chemical Reactions
9-11 PS2I The rate of a physical or
chemical change may be affected by
factors such as temperature, surface area,
and pressure.
Students Will…
- Explore factors (stresses) affecting equilibrium
- Predict direction of equilibrium shift
- Predict resulting changes in concentration
- Make equilibrium serve their own purposes

Learning Experiences – What learning experiences
Assessment – What will students do to demonstrate are the students engaged in to demonstrate the
competence specific to learning? learning target’s knowledge and skills?
Be sure to align all assessments with their corresponding learning experiences.
Day 1 (Content)
Strategies for Creating an Inclusive, Supportive
Learning Community – What strategies will be used
to facilitate effective classroom management at key
points during the lesson?

Formative Assessment: Engage students throughout the
presentations and demonstration by soliciting answers
to key questions.
Key Question: What is Le Chatelier’s Principle?
PowerPoint Presentation (25 minutes):
- Factors Affecting Equilibrium
- Le Chatelier’s Principle
- Changes in Concentration
- Changes in Volume & Pressure
- Changes in Temperature
Begin with Key Question so that students are fully aware
of the main focus of the lesson.
The PowerPoint provides clear written descriptions of the
content being presented orally. It will help to keep the
lecture organized and concise.

Visual Presentation (10 minutes): The Visual Presentation meets the needs of visual
- Use See Saw Diagrams to Explore Changes in learners. It will present the aforementioned information
Concentration, Pressure, and Temperature using pictures and diagrams in place of written word.
- Corresponding Equilibrium Shifts

Demonstration (5 minutes): The demonstration provides a visual so that students can

Formative Assessment: Utilize ActivInspire technology to
assess which concepts the students are comfortable
with. Assign practice problems (Daily 2 Questions) for
- Equilibrium System: actually see Le Chatelier’s Principle in action. It also
2NO2(g)  N2O4(g) + Energy provides a tangible, real world example.
- How Will Temperature Changes Shift This
System?
ActivInspire devices provide students with a fun and
Exit Tasks (10-15 minutes): engaging way to reinforce concepts by answering
- ActivInspire Questions practice problems. They provide a way for students to
use as an assessment tool on Day 2.
Formative Assessment: Daily 2 Questions are graded as
pass/fail for +1 point. If the student completed over 70%
of the assignment, they will receive +1 point for the
effort. Going over the Daily 2 Questions as a class gives
the students an opportunity to evaluate their own
progress, and the verbal responses from the students
provides the instructor with some feedback about their
level of understanding.
Formative Assessment: ActivInspire technology is used
to assess which concepts the students are comfortable
with. It provides accurate and usable data from the
whole class (assuming that they participate and take it
seriously).
Formative Assessment: Quiz 2 is designed to be similar
in structure and scope as the final unit test. It is worth +1
point if the student gets over 70% correct. This
assessment tool will be used by the instructor to get a
good idea of how students will likely perform on the unit
test, as well as what concepts the students may still be
struggling with. These concepts will be specifically
addressed the next day when a test review is conducted.
- Assign Daily 2 Questions
Day 2 (Assessment)
Daily 2 Questions (20 minutes):
- Turn in Daily 2 Questions at Start of Class
- Go Over Daily 2 Questions as a Large Group
ActiveInspire Questions (15 minutes):
- Use ActiveInspire Devices to Practice Relevant
Problems About Le Chatelier’s Principle
Exit Tasks (20 minutes):
- Complete Quiz 2
- Staple Quiz 2 to Daily 2 and Turn In
- Print Out and Turn In Lab
comfortably engage in friendly, anonymous competition.
Large group participation is an opportunity for students
to share their understanding of content with the teacher
and their peers. However, some of the students are not
as comfortable sharing in a large group setting.
To address this problem, ActivInspire devices provide
students with a fun and engaging way to reinforce
concepts by answering practice problems. They provide
a way for students to comfortably engage in friendly,
anonymous competition.
Quiz 2 is essentially a short ‘practice’ unit test. It will
show students what kinds of questions they can expect
to see on the unit test so that they can become more
comfortable and familiarize themselves with it’s structure
and scope.
