Notes et commentaires
Would this work a year group down with more scaffolding, or is the reading level too high?
Noted, I will add a timing warning to the description.
It works fine without the lab kit — I demoed the tricky step at the front and the rest is paper-based.
Beautifully sequenced. The misconceptions listed in the teacher notes were exactly the ones my class walked in with.
Thanks, this is really helpful feedback.
Yes! The materials tab has a printable. Look under the practice phase.
Great question — I ran it with 28 and just added a third station to keep group sizes down. Worked fine.
A year down worked for me with the reading swapped for the summary version.
Ran it twice this term with very different groups and it held up both times. That is rare.
