Valutazioni e commenti
Has anyone tried running this with a larger class? Curious how the group activity scales to 30+ students.
Careful, accurate content — I checked the sources and they hold up. Refreshing for a shared lesson.
Setup was about ten minutes for me once the materials were out on the bench.
Great structure. One question: is the extension task assessed, or purely optional?
Glad it was useful. Let me know how the series goes.
Great question — I ran it with 28 and just added a third station to keep group sizes down. Worked fine.
It works fine without the lab kit — I demoed the tricky step at the front and the rest is paper-based.
Ran it twice this term with very different groups and it held up both times. That is rare.
I did the same swap. Saved setup time and students were just as engaged.
