Deciding how you will start the year off is always a challenge. I choose to start with experimental design for several reasons.
First, it allows me to establish my procedures and expectations for the lab and the classroom right away.
Next, starting with experimental design allows me to easily engage my students in science. I can grab their attention and then dive further into the content.
Finally, starting with experimental design helps me see my students’ understanding of science. With this knowledge, I can quickly make adjustments to my instruction to better accommodate my students.
I hope you enjoy these free lessons!

I signed up for the two weeks of free experimental design activities and have not received them. I gave my email and first name. Just wondering if I I needed to redo anything or is it going to be sent. Thanks so much for this opportunity and looking into this
