Ratings & comments
Beautifully sequenced. The misconceptions listed in the teacher notes were exactly the ones my class walked in with.
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.
Not a perfect fit for my curriculum, but adapting it took twenty minutes instead of an evening.
