Random Instructional Thought

For an independent study project, I thought I could have students generate questions about how something chemistry-ish works - for example, "How is ice cream made?" "How does coffee get decaffeinated?" "What is an octane rating?" etc. etc.

Then, students could post these questions on a wall. I could then use these questions as an anchor activity for the keeners who finish everything in way less time than it took me to plan it, perhaps requiring that each student research at least one question over the course of the term. Once researched, students could present their findings to the class, or make a poster, or design a web-quest , etc.

The wall would, of course, be known as my "Wonderwall."

That made me laugh for about a whole day. *cough* nerd *cough**cough*
