This fuels investigation is a follow on to the combustion lesson posted recently. I have used this with Y9 groups but would advise caution that you only do this activity with students you feel you can trust as there are obvious safety issues. Sometimes in teaching science we have to take risks and this is just one example. Having said that it is good fun and helps students understand some of the complexities of a scientific investigation.
The Power Point is deliberately short and very much teacher led. I usually got the students to plan the investigation in one lesson (occasionally do a trial run if time permits) then the following lesson (sometime 2) complete the investigation. You need to be very organised and alert during the fuel testing, rotating groups through the 4 fuels works best.
The worksheet is given to students to guide them through reporting the investigation.
Enjoy.
