Notes et commentaires
The timing note says 50 minutes but it took us closer to 65. Worth budgeting the extra.
It works fine without the lab kit — I demoed the tricky step at the front and the rest is paper-based.
The assessment rubric alone was worth it. I have reused it across three other lessons since.
A year down worked for me with the reading swapped for the summary version.
