Valutazioni e commenti
How long does the setup actually take? Trying to work out if it fits a single period.
Noted, I will add a timing warning to the description.
The extension is optional in the plan, but I mark it for the students who choose it.
Any suggestions for running this without the lab equipment? My room is a standard classroom.
Setup was about ten minutes for me once the materials were out on the bench.
Totally agree, the wrap-up is the strongest part.
The differentiation notes are what sold me — I could stretch the fast finishers without writing anything extra.
