Slide 3: Factors Affecting Reaction Rates
1. Concentration: Increasing concentration of reactants leads to more frequent collisions. 
 2. Temperature: Higher temperature increases kinetic energy and collision frequency. 
 3. Surface Area: Greater surface area allows for more particle collisions.

Write down 3 things you learned in this lesson.

Slide 30 - Open question

Have students enter three things they learned in this lesson. With this they can indicate their own learning efficiency of this lesson.
Write down 2 things you want to know more about.

Slide 31 - Open question

Here, students enter two things they would like to know more about. This not only increases involvement, but also gives them more ownership.
Ask 1 question about something you haven't quite understood yet.

Slide 32 - Open question

The students indicate here (in question form) with which part of the material they still have difficulty. For the teacher, this not only provides insight into the extent to which the students understand/master the material, but also a good starting point for the next lesson.
Marble chips react with dilute hydrochloric acid to produce carbon dioxide gas.

The rate of this reaction can be changed by changing the size of the marble chips.

Describe how you could investigate what effect using smaller marble chips has on the rate of this reaction. Predict and explain the effect of using smaller marble chips on the reaction rate
