    • Students will work in groups of 2-3. Assign groups at the beginning of the activity, ensuring a mix of strengths and skills within each group.
    • Place the stations activities in the classroom, to facilitate student movement;
    • Students will spend approximately 3-5 minutes at each station.
    • Instruct groups to rotate systematically through each station. Determine the direction of rotation (clockwise or counterclockwise) and ensure each group visits every station.
    • Direct students to record their answers on the provided Student Handouts. These handouts are organized in a way that corresponds to the layout of the stations, allowing for easy reference.
    • Allow a brief transition time between stations to ensure a smooth rotation process. Use this time to briefly recap key concepts from the previous station.
    • Provide students with an Answer Key after they complete all stations. This key will serve as a valuable resource for self-evaluation.
    • Encourage students to review their answers against the Answer Key. This self-assessment process promotes reflection and reinforces understanding. Emphasize the importance of learning from both correct and incorrect responses.
