Team work and role reversal:

In 15 mins team work an energy concept is developed as in version 2. But afterwards the concept is not presented to the class, but the group splits into the sub-groups A and B. Each sub-group A and its concept assembles with the sub-group B of another group.

The students compare their concepts, discuss similar and different parts and the characters standing behind it. In 15 minutes team work they try to find a compromise of both energy concepts.
