All About Catalysts
Our job today is to learn about catalysts. What’s a catalyst? Your first task is to learn just that.
Read the normal text in your book on pages 54 and 57.
After a few minutes, we’ll discuss as a class.
All About Catalysts
We’re discussing catalysts here in chemical terms, but they can be something more generic too. For example:
“At the peace talk, there was a man who was tempting each leader to fight the other. Soon, war broke out. I guess you could say the man was a catalyst for war”

Your job for the rest of class is to come up with some sort of practical example of a catalyst with a partner, and then illustrate, expand, or detail it in some way.
Make these look good. We’ll put them up in the room and use them later to remind ourselves of this term.
