JL worked with Wee Yap (trainee) to design and implement an inquiry-based worksheet on Conduction (in the topic Transfer of thermal energy). A video clip on a bunsen flame heating a piece of paper (half wrapped over a plastic bottle and half wrapped over an aluminium can) was shown. On the worksheet, students predicted what would happen, explained their rationale, observed what actually happened and wrote down their reasonings. A subsequent lesson was used for discussions on common misconceptions and inaccuracies in descriptions.
