Ratings & comments
Good bones, and the slides are clean enough to project without editing. I trimmed the discussion to fit a 45-minute period.
Noted, I will add a timing warning to the description.
Pairs nicely with the follow-up lesson in the same subject — I taught them back to back.
Ran it twice this term with very different groups and it held up both times. That is rare.
It works fine without the lab kit — I demoed the tricky step at the front and the rest is paper-based.
Totally agree, the wrap-up is the strongest part.
The extension is optional in the plan, but I mark it for the students who choose it.
Setup was about ten minutes for me once the materials were out on the bench.
