Following Directions: A No Fuss, Paper and Pencil Lab Activity
Rita Hoots
Tested Studies in Laboratory Teaching, 1993, Volume 14
Abstract
This no-fuss exercise is one of my favorite labs and has been adapted from an American Biology Teacher article by Brett (1989) — who is Chair of the Life Sciences Department at Indiana State University. It is a seemingly simple activity that challenges students to read and reread the provided directions and to translate the language into a visual figure. Terms and definitions are listed with requisite directions for constructing a two-dimensional hypothetical insect. The only materials required are pencil, eraser, paper, metric ruler, protractor, simple geometry aid, and the instructions.
