RTL Lab Week 4

This week we were tasked with demonstrating a type of problem to the rest of our peers for them to work through. I chose to present an effect-cause problem on the topic of small gas engines. I gave the students a scenario where a customer brought in a snow blower that was not running properly. Students then used white boards to write out their hypotheses as to what the cause was for the snow blower to run incorrectly. We then discussed the different hypotheses to see which was the most plausible cause. I thought that my idea worked really well and was easy for my peers to work through. Some things I would change for the future would be to pair students up to work more efficiently and add on another scenario instead of just working through one problem. I also want to ensure that I provide clear instructions when I present the scenario and through the problem solving approach.
