Beginning of the Year Station Labs

  • Student-Led

    The station labs have been created to be student-led. Students will take ownership of the new content in ways which will increase their engagement.

  • Increased Content Retention

    Students are presented similar content through a variety of mediums which allows them to retain and understand more of the information.

  • Plug and Play

    The station labs use a framework that is easy to set up so that students can focus on what to learn rather than what to do. Easy prep!

Included With Every Lesson:

The following checklist outlines the documents and activities which are included with each station lab.

  • Four output stations included: Organize It, Illustrate It, Write It, Assess It

  • Four input stations included: Watch It, Explore It, Read It, Research It
