Activity Overview / Details
I now bring the students back into the classroom and bring up selected slides (the slides I bring up depends on my conclusions derived from questioning the students) and we discuss what we found. During this activity, I try to get the students to answer their own questions. For example, one student may ask, “Why is it cold by the firewall and warm at the compressor?” I’ll ask the whole class if anyone can answer the question. If no one speaks, I review a slide that shows the relationship of heat to pressure, a slide that demonstrates latent heat, and then a slide that has a diagram of the whole system. If a student volunteers to answer, I’ll listen to their explanation and try to find slides to support them and help them fill in the gaps.
