Thanks for sharing this! Bookmarking for next term.
Sixty-five minutes matches my experience too. I now split it across two shorter periods.
It works fine without the lab kit — I demoed the tricky step at the front and the rest is paper-based.
Thanks, this is really helpful feedback.
Great question — I ran it with 28 and just added a third station to keep group sizes down. Worked fine.
Worked well as a cover lesson. A colleague with no background in the topic taught it from the plan alone.
Glad it was useful. Let me know how the series goes.
Good bones, and the slides are clean enough to project without editing. I trimmed the discussion to fit a 45-minute period.
Setup was about ten minutes for me once the materials were out on the bench.
Yes! The materials tab has a printable. Look under the practice phase.
Is there a printable version of the recording sheet anywhere?
