Preparation:
Download the student worksheet. Print or assign using your online classroom platform. Teachers can also create a LabXchange account for themselves and for students, assigning this within LabXchange. However, it is not necessary.
Note that students' progress will not be saved, and they will have to start the interactive resource from the beginning if they close the tab. Have a plan in place for students who do not finish during class time, or make students aware of this if assigning the resource as homework.
Extensions:
Pair this resource with a physical lab, such as this one.
