Project Activities
Over the course of the project this team conducted 19 small-scale experiments. The results of these experiments were then used to create four different paper and pencil tutorials that were then tested for effectiveness. These tutorials were then modified based on the experimental findings to create three web-based modules. Each module was a stand-alone lesson and could be completed in about 20 to 35 minutes.
