What is rate of reaction? How is it measured? What does initial rate mean? This detailed and fully animated A Level Chemistry lesson answers all of that and more with engaging visuals, structured mini plenaries, and exam-style questions.

Created for Edexcel International A Level Chemistry Unit 2 (WCH12), this resource is also ideal for AQA, OCR, and other major UK specifications. It’s designed to help Year 12 students build a strong understanding of reaction kinetics, data interpretation, and particle theory—all essential for exam success.

PowerPoint includes:

Slide 1: Title + 5-minute starter grid (last week / last lesson / today / next lesson)

Slide 2: Learning objectives

Slides 3–4: Introduce rate through real-world data (crime rate analogy)

Slides 5–8: Track rate via changes in reactants/products in a CaCO₃ + HCl reaction

Slides 9–11: Tangent graph task to calculate rate at a point

Slides 12–13: How to calculate initial rate from a curve

Slides 14–18: Collision theory using particle diagrams + activation energy explained

Slides 19–20: Why not all collisions cause reactions

Slides 21–22: Stretch/challenge: covalent bonds and energy in organic reactions

Slides 23–24: Exam questions with answers

Key learning outcomes:

Define and calculate rate of reaction

Interpret concentration–time graphs

Use tangents to estimate rate at a specific time

Understand molecular collisions, orientation, and energy requirements

Build exam technique and confidence

Ideal for classroom teaching, flipped learning, cover lessons, or exam prep. Fully animated with answers that appear on click—no extra prep needed.

Edexcel International A level Chemistry - lessons with questions and answers | Topic 9 | Introduction to Kinetics and Equilibria

This bundle is comprised of 5 PowerPoint lessons covering Topic 9 – Introduction to Kinetics and Equilibria for the Edexcel International A level Chemistry course. The PowerPoints are as follows: 1. Rate of Reaction and Collision Theory 2. Factors affecting rate of reaction (including Maxwell Boltzmann distribution curves) 3. Factors affecting rate of reaction – catalysts 4. Dynamic Equilibrium 5. Reversible Reactions in Industry Each lesson is exactly that . . . a lesson. There is a starter slide, lesson objectives slide, introduction of new knowledge slides, worked examples and then opportunities for students to try independent practice through mini plenary tasks comprised of several questions of graded difficulties. Questions are interspersed through the lessons at regular intervals and always have answers that animate on to the screen when you click. THESE ARE NOT THE INFORMATION ONLY TYPE SLIDES THAT SOME PEOPLE SELL, which are useless for delivering a lesson. We are a team of teachers, and these lessons have been made by actual Chemistry teachers who currently teach in secondary schools in England. We know exactly what you need, trust me. Every lesson has exam questions included as word documents which were made using Exam wizard. The mark scheme and examiner’s report is at the end of the exam question and the answers have been screen shotted and pasted into the PowerPoint at the end. All the slides in every lesson are fully animated and include answers to every mini plenary question and exam question. If you have a positive experience with the bundle, please leave a positive review! This really helps promote our store!
