Ratings & comments
My students loved the hands-on part. The exit ticket gave me exactly the formative data I needed. Highly recommend.
I did the same swap. Saved setup time and students were just as engaged.
The assessment rubric alone was worth it. I have reused it across three other lessons since.
That is a fair point about the sourcing — I have listed two substitutes in the materials now.
