In-Person Learning Recommendations
Recommendations for teachers providing instruction using video instruction. The sections are divided up into Introduction, activity, and discussion (sense-making). This provides some flexibility for blended learning opportunities.

Synchronous Learning Recommendations
Materials teacher need to get from kits/home for remote learning.
Optional materials for students to use for remote learning. These should be considered consumable.

Please check with district guidelines regarding allergies and sending home materials.
Recommended resources. While the content of these resources is similar to those provided in the Investigations Guide, the experiences differ. Note: The resources below are recommended for use during this modified instructional time. Many of these are available now by logging into Resources by Investigations on FOSSweb.

Part 2: Drought StopperAs this part is largely a demonstration, modifications are not necessary.Introduction
Steps 1–2, 4

Demonstrate the Drought Stopper for students. Emphasize in the original demonstration that water flows from the Drought Stopper after 100 mL of water is added to the system. In subsequent demonstrations, when decanting the accumulated water into the system, nothing comes out until the last 100 mL of water is added to the system.

Activity

Steps 5–7

Be prepared to demonstrate the system many times for students. Ask them to think about what the system is like internally to work as it does.

Focus on the process of developing a model. As you may not have conducted Investigation 2.1, be more explicit on explaining what a model is and how students can create a model for this system by drawing possible mechanisms at work in the box. Ask students to draw their models in their notebooks and then hold them up to the camera to show others.

Discussion
Step 8

Open the box and show students the different parts of the Drought Stopper, how they are connected, and how it works. You can demonstrate the system one more time. This time keep the Drought Stopper out of the box and slowly pour in the water. Explain what is happening as the water fills in the tube and finally exit the system.

Part 3: Models for Change in PropertiesStep 4. Have the four substances already placed in the containers. Students can work in pairs or small groups to observe what happens in the double boiler system. Each student has his/her own toothpick probes.Introduction
Steps 1–3

Show students the four materials that will be floating over the hot-water bath and show them how hard each substance is (rap the pebble on the table so show it is hard, bend the birthday candle, squish the margarine between your fingers, and try to squish the chocolate chip (without holding it so long that it starts to melt).

Have the chart that is shown in Step 3 pre-drawn (ahead of your class session) and hold it up to the camera. Have students copy the chart into their notebooks and predict what will happen when the substances are put over the hot-water bath. Set up the hot-water bath and have students observe what happens. Use the toothpick probes periodically to show what is happening to the substances. They should complete their charts after a few minutes.

Activity
Step 4

Discussion
Step 5

Focus on the sense-making discussion and the evidence they observed between something that dissolves and something that melts.

Response sheet should be done after this part.
