Things to ponder before and after Workshop 1:
AssignmentIn preparation for Workshop 2, please interview a few of your students (2 to 5 students). Have some boiling water available at the beginning of each interview. Say that you are boiling water, and you would like the interviewee to tell you what is in the bubbles that form at the bottom of the pot or beaker or flask. Then ask how he/she thinks that substance has formed.
Record the results of your first question for Assignment 1 on the enclosed chart.
