Okay so I'm not sure where to go for advice so I just decided to ask here. I need ideas for the interactive portion of my Chemistry project. So I did a research paper on Erwin Schrodinger and I already have a power point presentation made up. So like I said in part of the presentation I have to have an interaction portion that involves the whole class. My teacher doesn't want to give the students any ideas and he told us a Q&A isn't acceptable. Just in case you need to know I focused mainly on Schrodinger's equation and his Schrodinger's cat thought experiment. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Q&A

..."but Feather240!" You scream "I'm not allowed to do Q&A!" Well then, all you have to do is make it so the questions are used in a different way! This flowchart represents how you use your awesome theory, but wait! Oh no, it's not in order! Now they can put it in order! Flow chart's not possible in context? Use your imagination! Any answer that requires them to respond with more then just an answer is full of win! You know what's even better? An adventure game style thing! Need more? Use your rainbow filled imagination! :D

Put your teacher in a closet, then poll the class to see if they think she's, dead, alive or both.

That's not an accurate representation.

You need to put a poison-gas trap inside the closet with him that will go off if you open the door:D

Uhm, treat the class like an electron in a harmonic oscillator, and calculate the probability that it disappears (ie tunneling, probability that the electron's position is beyond the turning point)?
Or give an actual analogy to the dead/undead cat: the particle on a ring problem can be solved exactly. In the ground state, the particle's velocity is zero, but it's probability distribution is still uniform all around the ring. So if you take a measurement, you impart enough energy to change its position, which is essentially the point of the thought experiment. So have the class form a ring, and...something. Have them pass around an object, and you try to guess where it is, or something like that. Sorry if this isn't of any help, I just know the theory, not how to make understandable to students
