The information provided here is an overview of the amount of time we estimate it will take you to

prepare the materials for each lesson of the Natural Selection Engineering Internship unit. This does

not include the time you will need to spend reading the instructional guide; previewing the student

activities, articles, videos, and digital tools; or reviewing students’ work.

The Materials and Preparation sections in the Lesson Brief of each lesson (in the instructional

guide) include detailed preparation steps to be completed before the day of each lesson, as well as

preparation steps to be done immediately before each lesson. This preparation time is summarized

in the table below to assist in your planning. We suggest actually calendaring your lessons, taking

particular note of the lessons that require more preparation time.
