Ratings & comments
This is now a staple in my unit. The progression from hook to wrap-up feels natural and easy to follow.
It works fine without the lab kit — I demoed the tricky step at the front and the rest is paper-based.
Please do share the translation, that would help a lot of us.
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.
Noted, I will add a timing warning to the description.
