Thank you for your response. Because of the environment we're in, there are ample opportunities for students to apply critical thinking skills. There's no need to create situations. Let me give you another example: There are 6 ovens, at 6 different temps. Some students will turn down the temp on a particular oven to the desired temperature, never realizing that because of the stone decks, it could take hours to cool down. They're not looking at the other ovens to see that some of them are already at the desired temp! How do I get them to look at the other ovens first? That's what I'm really asking. TIA
