Narrative:
While navigating in the north practice area; the pcas alerted us to traffic 1 mile and plus 500 ft. I obtained a visual on the traffic and pointed it out to my student. While transmitting our position and its relation to the other traffic; they turned and started a steep descent in our direction. Seeing the aircraft change of flight path; I initiated a descent and turned away from the traffic. They still passed within 300 ft directly above our position. We never had communication with the aircraft. They never made any radio calls of which we were aware. Both myself and the student will use even more caution in operations in heavily congested practice areas.
