Laboratory+Teaching


 * Laboratory Assignment: Designing and Instructing Laboratory Experiences**

One of the greatest challenges to the secondary science teacher is the creation, implementation, and evaluation of quality laboratory experiences. The purpose of this series of assignments is to get you to begin thinking about the role of laboratory work in the secondary science classroom and how its effectiveness can be optimized.

You will be designing and teaching a 40-45 minute laboratory experience to your BSC 307 peers. Details of the assignment can be found in the assignment description sheet. Please make sure to use the templates provided for your lesson plan and lab considerations document.









Reflection Instructions:
