Original Idea for Following Laboratory Procedure
As teachers, especially in lab experiments, we can find it difficult to have students follow classroom instruction and procedures.
I recently came across an original idea to help students understand the importance of following proper procedure, making 7 layer chip dip.
Although originally this made sound like a bizarre idea, but once implemented into your lab, you will see how it can serve as a valuable teaching tool.
Here's a quick recipe and procedure I found:
Ingredients
1 can (16 oz) Old El Paso® refried bea
1 package (1 oz) Old El Paso® taco seasoning mix
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1 can (4.5 oz) Old El Paso® chopped green chiles
1 cup Old El Paso® Thick 'n Chunky salsa (any variety)
2 cups shredded lettuce
2 cups shredded Cheddar or Mexican cheese blend (8 oz)
1 can (2.25 oz) sliced ripe olives, drained (1/2 cup)
1 medium tomato, diced (3/4 cup)
Tortilla chips
