"Very comprehensive overview of the course. As an experienced ESS Teacher, it was still useful to see new/additional resources and to have everything in a resource. I have used InThinking for IB DP Chemistry before and do use it regularly as a teacher...."

I like these demos/activities and do a variety with my classes - I believe the question for property 8 isn't relevant to the activity? The activity is only hot and cold water, but the question is about salinity
HL 4.1 Exploring the Properties of Water -
Thanks for letting me know - yes these pages are all sending me to pages in the Reserve Bank. We'll have to update the page links. Don't know what's happened to the equations. May just have to redo them.
2.2: Energy and Biomass in Ecosystems -
HI Zoe, I am finding that the links to other activities don't take me to them (due to the reorg of the site?) and the HL efficiency section seems to have some issues with equations. Thought you'd want to know!
2.2: Energy and Biomass in Ecosystems

Yes, I was also thinking to ask the same Q. Thank you.
