Kegiatan 1 - The Ferryman's Challenge

> Durasi: (60 - 70 minutes)

- Tujuan: Develop skills in calculating vapour pressure and making decisions based on scientific knowledge.

- Deskripsi: Students are tasked with simulating a river crossing with a ferryman, whose goal is to transport a selection of substances with different vapour pressures in specific amounts. The ferryman has a limited-capacity boat and has to decide the order of transport to enhance efficiency and minimize leaks (represented by review questions).

- Instruksi:

• Divide the class into groups of up to 5 students.

• Present the scenario: a ferryman needs to cross a river using a limited-capacity boat to transport jars of various substances with differing vapour pressures.

• Each group will receive cards representing different substances and their respective vapour pressures (measured in atm).

• Students must calculate the total pressure in the boat after each addition and answer review questions that simulate leaks that would happen if the pressure gets too high.

• The goal is to figure out the safest and most efficient sequence for transporting the substances.

• At the end, each group will present their strategy and the calculations they performed.

Kegiatan 2 - Dr. Vapour's Secret Laboratory

> Durasi: (60 - 70 minutes)

- Tujuan: Apply knowledge about vapour pressure and colligative properties in a mystery-solving and decision-making context.

- Deskripsi: In this playful activity, students assume the roles of assistants to a quirky scientist, Dr. Vapour, who is trying to create the perfect cocktail of liquids with various vapour pressures for a secret experiment. Each group receives different liquids and their vapour pressure data and must determine which combinations to use in the experiment based on clues and challenges left by Dr. Vapour in the lab.

- Instruksi:

• Organize students into groups of up to 5 people.

• Explain that they are assistants to Dr. Vapour, a mad scientist who needs help choosing the right substances for his experiment.

• Each group will receive cards featuring different liquids and their vapour pressures.

• Dr. Vapour has left clues and challenges scattered around the lab to assist in making decisions about the ideal combinations.

• Groups must use the clues provided, calculate the total pressures of the mixtures, and choose the best options for the final experiment.

• In the end, each group will present their choices and justify them based on what they've learned about colligative properties.

Kegiatan 3 - The Alchemists' Race

> Durasi: (60 - 70 minutes)

- Tujuan: Understand how vapour pressure affects the formation of mixtures and develop skills in calculation and planning.

- Deskripsi: Students take part in an alchemist race where they must select the right ingredients for their magical potions based on their vapour pressures. Each group needs to determine the order in which to use the ingredients to maximize effervescence without making the potion explode.

- Instruksi:

• Split the class into groups of up to 5 students.

• Each group will receive a list of ingredients and their respective vapour pressures.

• Students need to decide the order of adding the ingredients for their potion based on the balance of vapour pressures.

• The challenge is to achieve maximum effervescence without causing the potion to explode (indicating an error in their pressure calculations).

• At the conclusion, each group will present their potion and explain the reasoning behind their choice of ingredient order.
