Decoding Resistors Create-A-Poster
My Create-A-Poster series takes several Engineering/STEM skills and turns them into a project for students to create a poster/infographic that teaches that skill to the reader. The Create-A-Poster project is a great way to assess student understanding of the skill. These projects are also very easy to drop in the lesson plan for sub days! I was so thankful I had these in my Sub Day Library a few years ago when my husband and I were in the ER and needed something quick and easy for me yet meaning
