Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)
Enquiry: - Let learners research on the following terminologies boiling, evaporation, melting, freezing as well as how the occur. - Guide learners to perform an experiment to determine the specific latent heat fusion of ice by the method of mixture. Foster an inclusive and supportive learning environment. Assessment (2.2.1.AS.4). The document marks these depth-of-knowledge levels for this indicator: Level 3 Strategic reasoning.
