Energy transfer by design information hunt

This activity is designed to encourage students to consider the way in which 9 different products are designed to control the rate of heat transfer.
There are 9 pictures of the objects, which I print in A4 and laminate.
There are 4 additional documents, one contains a table of the object names, one a table of descriptions, one a table of the colours and the final a description of the method of heat transfer controlled. Each of these documents is printed in A3 on the colour named and cut into 9 cards.
For the activity I place the laminated pictures around the room and leave a complete set of 36 cards with each picture. Students are split into 9 groups one group at each picture each group has a blank answer table printed on A3. Students nominate a scribe and have 2 minutes to identify the appropriate 4 cards for the pictures they are looking at. Students need to summarise the information from each card into the relevant column on the table. The final column has no associated card but students should justify how the design supports the function of the object. At the end of two minutes students should move to the next picture in order, switch scribes and complete the task for the new object. The activity is finished when all 9 items have been visited.

By completing the columns of the table students are hitting various levels of skill (recalling names, describing the object, explaining how it works, linking to prior knowledge of heat transfer).
