Ratings & comments
My students loved the hands-on part. The exit ticket gave me exactly the formative data I needed. Highly recommend.
Not a perfect fit for my curriculum, but adapting it took twenty minutes instead of an evening.
I did the same swap. Saved setup time and students were just as engaged.
Would this work a year group down with more scaffolding, or is the reading level too high?
Setup was about ten minutes for me once the materials were out on the bench.
Good to know the hook travels — I will try that.
Please do share the translation, that would help a lot of us.
Clear, classroom-ready, and the materials list is accurate. My only tweak was adding a few more minutes to the practice phase.
A year down worked for me with the reading swapped for the summary version.
