9. Search for Meaning Activity
How might we plan an investigation to test that the products from combustion are carbon dioxide and water? THINK back to previous learning. HINT: Water given off during combustion is a gas.
Place a range of equipment in trays for pupils to choose from to plan an investigation. Give them a range of fuels to choose from too.

10. Demonstrate new Understanding
Use the investigation planning sheet to plan your investigation.
