One of the first lessons that I teach in my Biology course is Characteristics of Living Things. During this lesson, I spend some time focusing on the term homeostasis. In order to provide my students with a visual representation of homeostasis, I always use the Homer-o-stasis lab. My students absolutely love this lab! There are several versions of this lab floating around the internet, but I could never find teacher instructions for preparing the solutions and setting up the lab.

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science! With so much material to "teach" these days, we often forget to incorporate key proven principles into our curricula — namely active recall, metacognition, spaced repetition, and interleaving practice.
