Design and Make Investigations
Using enthalpy changes for
heating and cooling in camping
Design and make a self-heating
can to heat the coffee contained
in a standard size can to 65oC
and to maintain it at this
temperature for up to 30 minutes
Design and make
a pocket hand-warmer
a system that could be used to keep
drink cool
Aluminium-Air Fuel Cell
Construct useful things
from waste materials
Design and construct an
aluminium-air fuel cell from
soft drink cans
Investigate the current
produced with different
electrolytes
Investigate the cell e.m.f.
and current produced with
different metal anodes

Fair Tests
Investigating the effects of
varying fuels and electrolytes on
the electrical energy generated
in an alkaline fuel cell
http://chem.hku.hk/~fuelcell/dem
o.htm
Further investigations on
electrochemical cells:
determine the concentration of
unknown solution
potentiometric titration
Menthos and Cola
Adds a "Menthos" type candy to a glass of soda
pop. Students observe an increase in "fizz" or
release in carbon dioxide.
Possible explanations?
Investigations: different candies / cola, no. of
candies, temp, container, shape of candy

Edwards, C H(1997)
From Cookbook to Inquiry
Transition to inquiry-based instruction by
implementing changes gradually e.g. remove the
data table
Shifting toward guided and open inquiry by
continuing to remove the supports of the activity
Assessment should stress goals in scientific
reasoning and critical thinking in addition to
content knowledge
Assess students’ abilities to generate open-
ended and researchable queries, devise
scientific procedure, interpret data
Assessment
Achievement level matrixes in internal assessment of
International Baccalaureate (IB)
2 aspects apply to data collection (collecting and
recording raw data; organizing and presenting raw data),
data processing and presentation, and manipulative
skills
3 aspects apply to planning, conclusion and evaluation,
personal skills
Level 3 2 1 1 0 0
