Questions about using PLAI™ at International School Bangkok (ISB)
What should I focus on when transferring ideas about heat loss?

What should I provide for this lower secondary task?
Bring the topic, current learning objective, year group and material you are permitted to use. For transferring ideas about heat loss, specify any criteria and support needs without sharing names or identifiable learner records.
How can I check understanding after adding support?
Offer a fresh question about transferring ideas about heat loss without the response frame. Check whether learners can apply an explanation to a new object and identify its limits, using your own confirmed criteria.
