I posted my first attempt of the Hot Ice demo as a 3D lesson on the blog 2 years ago (my how time flies!) I now have the most recent version that I did in my regents chemistry ready to share. Included in the slide show is the actual classroom demo with the temperature profile in live time. This version includes a student guide with an annotated class notes section. As far as where this fits in the sequence of topics ... I had finished the bonding unit, where we explored IMFs extensively, and had just begun exploring mixtures with the sand, salt, iron filings separation as a STEM Challenge. My goal was to continue using the concept of IMFs and focus on solutions. This lesson was observed and I have added the observation narrative on the last few slides. The intent of sharing this is to give you a better ideas of what this lesson looked like in class from another professional's perspective.
