How to reference this medium
The teacher instructions include information on the following: the main question, relevance to the curriculum, skills, notes on conducting the subexperiments, the research group, further research assignments, the reference to technology, and the reference to values.
The experiment comprises two subexperiments:
• A combustion process needs oxygen
• Air pollution
The students will examine the topic of air pollution and gain insight into what can cause air pollution. Specifically, they will work with the topic of combustion of (old) materials and learn that this method does not make materials disappear, but only changes their shape and state.
Notes:
• Observe the safety information in the instructions as well as the applicable safety guidelines for your school.
• All materials mentioned in the instructions will have to be purchased directly from commercial sources.
