Equilibrium and Le Chatelier’s Principle

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Equilibrium and Le Chatelier’s Principle lesson plan also includes:
  • Equilibrium and Le Chatelier’s Principle
  • Vocabulary
  • Worksheet
  • Activity
  • Join to access all included materials

The best part of learning about equilibrium is that nothing changes. Young chemists observe four demonstrations during this lesson: equilibrium in a saturated solution, equilibrium with an acid-base indicator, equilibrium with cobalt complex ions, and the effect of changing temperature.
