Ratings & comments
Really well structured. I adapted the warm-up slightly for my group and it worked beautifully. Saved me hours of prep.
Noted, I will add a timing warning to the description.
Thanks, this is really helpful feedback.
Any suggestions for running this without the lab equipment? My room is a standard classroom.
Good to know the hook travels — I will try that.
The differentiation notes are what sold me — I could stretch the fast finishers without writing anything extra.
