Thanks Wil, for a terrific lesson today! As you described the lab I allowed my thought process to help guide my ideas for implementation in my own classroom. i want to enable the students to have their own space/time to create meaningful understandings but I don't want to overshadow the joy of discovery with procedural confusion. I spent a long time starting with the teacher's guide and then pouring out a reasonable constructed surface for my students to place their ideas. Lastly was the lab frame that will get at their observation within a managed matrix. i included possibilities for further research and am tickled that I can share this with other Bio teeachers who may want to use my lab set-up.

I'd share the constructed product on the forum but my brain operates in MS Word and I can't handle the web page's dislike of it.

Fabulous day, I know that I will continue to polish this lab but I'm so happy to have the product!
