Let’s set up your handout
Clicking through this ppt slide will show students how to fill in the chart on their worksheet. Doing this at the very beginning gives your students a simple task to do at the very beginning that will focus and settle everyone.
When the picture pops up showing the cup, paper clip, and noodle explain what they’re going to do- add pennies to the cup, 1 at a time, until the noodle breaks. Have a setup of your own materials up front to demonstrate exactly how to do all this. There’s nothing like clear instructions!
