[Channel-talkchemistry] regarding Kristen's comments

I am always looking for chemistry resources. I would appreciate any help you can give me. Post as much as you have time for. Thanks!!

Regarding cooperative learning, I give students new groups to work in every time we do an activity. I find that students feel this is a fair way of making groups and by the middle of the year, each student has worked with every other student in the class. To do this, I put each student's name on a popsicle stick and keep them in a cup at my desk. When it's time to go to lab or break into groups for review or activities, I quickly draw sticks from the cup to create groups. I honestly see a difference in the classroom atmosphere because all the kids get comfortable with one another. It creates a real open, tight-knit group of kids, almost like a family.
