What to include in an experiment

3. Use Student Guided Notes – This year, I’m using Version B Guided Notes with my students, as I’ve noticed they benefit from having more structured support during class.

It features fill-in-the-blank prompts for key vocabulary and concepts, making notetaking faster and more accessible, especially for English language learners or those with processing difficulties.

Homework – high level/flipped classroom

  • Student Guided Notes
    • Version A – For High-Level Students:
      Ideal for independent or advanced learners, this version requires students to copy all notes by hand as homework before class. This flipped-learning approach helps students come to class prepared, freeing up time for application activities, discussions, and AICE-style practice questions.
    • For this assignment have students fill in the blanks using the PPT Presentation. The Guided Notes can be found HERE. See few pages below.
