How to Write a Procedure Activity - Making a PB&J Sandwich - Digital - GoogleDoc
One of the most important parts of designing a science experiment is writing a clear and repeatable procedure. Use this Making a PB & J sandwich activity (Google Doc) to illustrate to your students how important it is to be specific when writing directions. This is one of my favorite activities to demonstrate with students. Act out their procedures and laughter will fill your classroom, not to mention learning a significant lesson!
