I was recently reading the March/April 2023 issue of \u201cScience Scope\u201d a publication of the National Science Teaching Association.\xa0\xa0In this issue, I read the \u201cPractical Research\u201d column, written by Alison Betz Seymour.\xa0\xa0She wrote an article entitled, \u201c\u201cBut, I\u2019m Not Done Yet!\u201d Time Management in the Science Classroom.\u201d\xa0\xa0

Here are some practical, simple suggestions to develop time management skills:

1.\xa0\xa0Explicitly talk about time management.

2.\xa0\xa0Prompts such as \u201cCheck in with your time, there are about 10 minutes left for this task.\u201d

3.\xa0\xa0Scaffold students\u2019 ability to visualize time by using an analog clock with time intervals marked with dry-erase pens.
