Notes et commentaires
Ran it twice this term with very different groups and it held up both times. That is rare.
Glad it was useful. Let me know how the series goes.
Really well structured. I adapted the warm-up slightly for my group and it worked beautifully. Saved me hours of prep.
It works fine without the lab kit — I demoed the tricky step at the front and the rest is paper-based.
Great structure. One question: is the extension task assessed, or purely optional?
Good bones, and the slides are clean enough to project without editing. I trimmed the discussion to fit a 45-minute period.
