Equilibrium and Balance
Refining a design that shifts a reaction's equilibrium and practicing ways to restore emotional balance after stress.
- Students will
- Students refine a design for keeping a drink fizzy by using how temperature and pressure shift a reaction toward more or less dissolved gas.
- SEL skill
- Choose a way to restore balance after stress and explain how it shifts the system
- What it looks like
- Students regulate emotions by choosing ways to restore balance after stress.
- Content focus
