8. Lab Stations Procedures You will not talk across groups, but you are encouraged to discuss these concepts within your group. If you have a question, ask a group member or raise your hand and wait for me to acknowledge you. Stay at your station until the timer goes off. Do not walk around the room unless you are cleaning up or preparing the station for the next group. If you have not completed a station, you will have a couple of minutes after you have completed all other stations to revisit any station you were unable to complete.
