Beautifully sequenced. The misconceptions listed in the teacher notes were exactly the ones my class walked in with.
Setup was about ten minutes for me once the materials were out on the bench.
Yes! The materials tab has a printable. Look under the practice phase.
Ran it twice this term with very different groups and it held up both times. That is rare.
Please do share the translation, that would help a lot of us.
