Provide a metaview, lifting students into a wider view of the concept. Use another medium (not reading or writing) to connect students' personal knowing to the concept (i.e. visual arts, music, movement, metaphor, etc.) Involve learners in reflective production that blends the emotional and the cognitive.

Teacher demonstration that requires heat to happen.

Objective: To perform a demonstration of a chemical reaction which requires a boost of energy (heat) to happen; to begin the bridge into enzymes which lower activation energy without heat.

Activity: The teacher does a demonstration of a chemical reaction that requires heat in order to occur. A simple and appropriate example might be the Benedict's Test for the presence of glucose. This is an indicator reaction which is commonly used in the average biology class. It is also good because it can be used again in a lab experience as a test for the action of an enzyme. After the demonstration, the students are asked to draw the set up and indicate with color pencils what happened.

Assessment: Success of the students in observing and understanding the role of heat in supplying energy for a reaction to happen.
