Effect of Concentration and Pressure
Students will investigate how concentration and pressure affect the rate of reaction.
Key Questions
- Explain how increasing reactant concentration increases the rate of reaction.
- Analyze the effect of increasing pressure on the rate of gaseous reactions.
- Predict the change in reaction rate if the concentration of a reactant is halved.

5E Model
The 5E Model structures lessons through five phases (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate), guiding students from curiosity to deep understanding through inquiry-based learning.
unit plannerThematic Unit
Organize a multi-week unit around a central theme or essential question that cuts across topics, texts, and disciplines, helping students see connections and build deeper understanding.
rubricSingle-Point Rubric
Build a single-point rubric that defines only the "meets standard" level, leaving space for teachers to document what exceeded and what fell short. Simple to create, easy for students to understand.
