Instructional Ideas

  • Have groups complete the pre-lab questions, then discuss them to ensure everyone is on the right track
  • Allow extra time in the lab for groups to gather more data through additional trials

Classroom Considerations

  • Prepare the solutions ahead of time, unless you plan to have pupils prepare them
  • Lab groups should contain no more than three students

Pros

  • The Engage activity is a creative way to approach observation and inference
  • Resource encourages critical thinking and creates a strong focus around indirect measurement

Cons

  • None
