=What does the X-Fish Eat?=

What about this station was confusing, or that you didn't really understand?
very clear directions timing and screen could use a pre-introduction as well as location of camera playback before decision would be ideal for video hearing directions was difficult- panels between stations to limit distractions knowing about resources that are available at station (cards) challenges for some with microscope- visual aids when we were answering what the x-fish ate it wasn't clear that you could choose more then one and then push the save button. Knowing more about how to use this microscope could have helped us look at the specimens better. measurement and scale - very difficult for 5/6 graders developmentally!!
