Catalysts & Inhibitors Worksheet

Description

Unlock the secrets of speeding up or slowing down chemical reactions with this interactive worksheet. Students will investigate how catalysts lower activation energy and how inhibitors delay or prevent reactions.

What’s Included:

• Reading Passages – Define catalysts and inhibitors with real-life examples (enzymes, food preservatives)
• Fill-in-the-Blanks – Learn terminology like enzyme, activation energy, and reaction rate
• MCQs – Differentiate between catalysts and inhibitors
• Experiment – Use yeast to catalyze hydrogen peroxide or test rust inhibitors
• True/False – Clarify confusing reaction myths
• Challenge – Predict outcomes with or without catalysts
• Class Activity – Build a reaction timeline with/without catalysts
