Two group members will go get project, after Ms Coates demonstration Journal Question: What do you think the question or problem this lab is addressing?
Objective: Students will build a desalination plant based on their groups design – or??? Do nothing? Do Now: 1. Have nothing on your desks 2. Sit quietly
