These lessons are designed to be assigned by the week and are mostly independent work since my Level 2 Science course is taught alongside my Level 2 Chemistry course. They are to provide necessary background information to support students when they research their extreme environments internal. Even though this work is independent, make sure to check in with students at the following points...
These concepts might be more challenging for the students, so make sure to check in with them frequently, specially with the PHET simulators.
As a teacher, you will also need to pick up a variety of different cans of soda for Task 2.
