This lesson is a lighter, shorter version of our traditional lesson. It is specifically adapted to be a fun end of the year lab. 
 
For us, this means maximizing hands-on time and the fun factor and going a bit lighter on the science. Be sure to check out our original lesson that this EOY special is built on if you are looking for more depth!
