Don't give them any instructions on how to make a grilled cheese sandwich. Let them try to figure it out as a group. 4. As they argue, tell them they have to work it out as a group. (Unless it gets really ugly). 5. After the lab, have them outline the problems they ran into as a group and list these on the board. 6.
