The Groups Groups of 3 or 4 make up each station group. Each station group is responsible for a chapter (11, 12, or 13) Your responsibility is to learn the material and create a learning station to present the info to the other groups.

The Learning Stations The station should have a display that easily teaches the material to onlookers. It can include posters, diagrams, models, hanging stuff from the wall or ceiling, interactive stuff, hands on stuff, moving parts, sounds, lights, etc. It can be funny, eye-catching, creative, thematic, whatever.

Class Time You will be given some time (five days) to prepare, design, and build your learning stations. Tips: Learn the topic first. Plan and design your station Create it. Don’t try to do it in reverse order.
