Feedback and what you get

Questions are marked automatically as pupils answer: a sound and a character reaction show straight away whether they are right, and correct answers earn points, with a results screen at the end. Sentence-writing tasks are for pupils' own answers and are not marked automatically.

Some reactions can go backwards. Show pupils how chemists control them to make ammonia for fertilisers. This 22-slide interactive lesson on Haber process takes pupils from first ideas to exam-style explanations, with 13 self-marking activities and nothing to prepare beforehand.

Teaching Reversible Reactions and the Haber Process in GCSE Chemistry

Pupils describe reversible reactions, including hydrated copper sulfate, and the energy changes in each direction, then explain dynamic equilibrium in a closed system. They predict how temperature, pressure and concentration change the yield, explain why a catalyst does not, and justify the Haber process conditions of about 450 °C, 200 atmospheres and an iron catalyst as compromises between yield, rate, cost and safety.
