Group Work Defined
Working in small groups to solve problems is a great way to learn science. Here
are a few documents to give group work some shape and definition so that it can be a
self-regulating learning tool:

Important note regarding printing
Before printing turn off the optional header and footer information. Also, make the left margin 0.75 in
(1.9 cm) and the other margins 0.5 in (1.3 cm) so that the page breaks I built into
the pages work as intended. Use only Internet Explorer or Opera browsers to print as
Netscape and Firefox both seem to mess things up a bit.
Some of the
files are PDFs and you need the Acrobat Reader available from Adobe. Some files are also MS Word 97 or RTF documents,
which just about anyone should be able to view. If you have trouble, try going
to www.microsoft.com to download the
Word Viewer.
