A3 controlled chaos! Ss work in groups, with partners, QR code scans, stations... Lots to do. #scitlap

MrHebertPE Dec 7 @ 9:23 PM EST

A3: Where do I start. I have no furniture in my class, work is quests that simulate the scenarios I present (must run, spin, etc) #scitlap

cjcrawcooper Dec 7 @ 9:24 PM EST

A3: I purposely put supplies on demo table and not at S tables. Also don't make S sit. #scitlap

PerkyScience Dec 7 @ 9:24 PM EST

A3. I think stations are a great way. I try to break up reading with video, watching and hands on. Problem is ensuring learning. #scitlap

krunge13 Dec 7 @ 9:24 PM EST

A3: I just read a blog about this today. Sometimes, a quick stretch break. I use "information rotation stations". #scitlap

A3: They have to earn all supplies they don't bring, puzzles, QR codes, sabotages, in class jobs, AR - a moving brain = engaged #scitlap

ElemSciTchr Dec 7 @ 9:25 PM EST

A3: Sometimes just moving from one area of room to another (reading area, tables, etc). And fidgets. #scitlap

karlacalbear Dec 7 @ 9:25 PM EST

A3 lab lessons always active, some just stand at their high top tables, always up for tissues! No permission needed to move about. #scitlap

In reply to @ElemSciTchr

branowar Dec 7 @ 9:32 PM EST

A4: Find a new approach with a different authentic application to make it real. Make them want to be re-taught anyway. #scitlap

PerkyScience Dec 7 @ 9:33 PM EST

I often forget to make reteaching as authentic as the first time around. It should be more of a priority. #scitlap

In reply to @branowar

MrHebertPE Dec 7 @ 9:34 PM EST

A4: I also give minimal guidelines I let Ss interpret work and present/create to their style - results are incredible with freedom #scitlap

cjcrawcooper Dec 7 @ 9:34 PM EST

A4: choices: I often have a pop bead option, paper, and e options #scitlap

PerkyScience Dec 7 @ 9:34 PM EST
