Use this poster, fact sheet and storyboard activity to ensure your 14–16 students understand dynamic equilibrium

Help your 14–16 learners master equilibrium and reversible reactions. Display the poster in your classroom and use the fact sheet to help your students understand why equilibrium is important, what a reversible reaction is and what is happening in dynamic equilibrium. Download the accompanying storyboard activity with three levels of scaffolding for learners to test their understanding and break down the process of dynamic equilibrium step-by-step.

This will support learners studying GCSE courses in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, for National 5 in Scotland and for the Leaving certificate in the Republic of Ireland.
