Instructional Ideas

• The resource is a great way to introduce the concept of equilibrium reactions after learning about basic reaction types
• Demonstrate equilibrium for the class using a reversible reaction

Classroom Considerations

• Aside from a basic understanding of chemical reactions, the resource does not require any prior knowledge 

• This video is hosted on YouTube

Pros

• The narrator uses correct terms and clear explanations of the concept
• Introduces reaction rates, creating an important bridge to future solution chemistry topics

Cons

• None
