Water Lab Lab Activity Lab Conversation No talking
Water Lab
Lab • Activity • Lab • Conversation • No talking during directions • Normal talking during the actual lab • Help • EDs may be used to access notes or other educational material • Raise your hand if you need help • Integrity • Collaborate – do not copy answers – if your group comes to an answer and you don’t understand ask them to explain it to you! • Distribute the work fairly – don’t be a mooch. • Effort • Checking Directions • Treating lab material carefully and respectfully involve everyone in the group • Value • Hands on learning • Learning laboratory skills • Efficiency • Read the directions – most labs can be done easily by taking your time with the directions Listen
