First Day of School Survey Activity

So today, to get a sense of what students thought about the nature of science, we did a short survey and discussion with the ActivExpression devices.  Here is an example of just one question we discussed, and the results from 4 class periods.

  8. Dacia you could also use something like Poll Everywhere and have students 'vote' using their cell phones as an option if your flickers don't work.
