Introduce the stations and review the procedures:
What is expected? How many students can be at a station at any one time? What does a student do when s/he completes a station?
Remind students periodically of remaining time. Close activities with small group discussions. Try two broad guiding questions for the discussions: what did you learn and how does it connect to the broad topic? This is where we start to make connections to the big ideas. The discussion time is also an opportunity for students to discover other rooms. Students share what they did and learned with each other.
