Kids loved this one too! My challenge was finding a place on campus to set this up, because with lab stations, multiple preps and 30 kids in a room there was no left over space for a mock environment. It does help to have a space with the environment and projection capacity so that the data sheets can be discussed before students begin the aciviy. Because I didn't have this, I made copies of the data sheet examples and we discussed before kids went to work. Also, I broke students up into pairs and ran 8 groups on the site at a time. While the other groups were waiting, they worked on their statistical analysis. It worked pretty good! It would be great to follow up with an on campus outdoor lab.
