Description
A complete A-Level Chemistry lesson on Maxwell Boltzmann distributions, designed for AS as Lesson 2 in the Rates of Reaction (3.1.5) sequence.
This lesson builds directly on collision theory and develops students ability to interpret, draw, and apply Maxwell Boltzmann distribution curves, including exam-level explanations linking distributions to activation energy and reaction rate.
The lesson is fully scaffolded and suitable for first teaching, intervention, or revision.
Whats included
- Fully resourced lesson
- Clear I Do > We Do > You Do structure
- Step-by-step guidance on reading M-B graphs
- Explicit teaching of key features (origin, peak, asymptote, area)
- Drawing and interpreting M-B curves at different temperatures
- Activation energy marked and shaded correctly
- Exam-style written questions with model answers
- Multiple choice questions to check understanding and consolidation tasks
