After the Session
Have an oral debrief immediately after the session while it's still fresh in
students' minds to discuss what they've learned.
Create exit tickets for them – two things you liked, two things you
learned, two things you want to know more about.
Do a Post-it wall for what they learned – ask everyone to write one thing
that they learned from the session and write it on a Post-it. Students can
then quietly read what the rest of the class wrote.
Refer back to the hands-on activity as you are moving forward onto
the next lessons (this goes back to the original planning phase; integrate
well and the sessions will tie into assessments).
Build on the knowledge from the sessions – extend and reuse the
materials provided to make other innovations (e.g. reuse the batteries
and lights to create other circuits).
