Any suggestions for running this without the lab equipment? My room is a standard classroom.
Sixty-five minutes matches my experience too. I now split it across two shorter periods.
Good to know the hook travels — I will try that.
Great question — I ran it with 28 and just added a third station to keep group sizes down. Worked fine.
Not a perfect fit for my curriculum, but adapting it took twenty minutes instead of an evening.
