Fine-tuning visits to the planetarium: insider hints for teachers-Have students down student questions on 3x5 cards, or something like that in dark ink, legibly. This way, I can answer student questions anonymously for those who are shy. I've done the research: there are 5x more unique interactions (more students asking questions), and deeper level questioning is 11x greater in those groups that have pre-written questions, vs. those who don't.
Also, there is greater diversity in the questioners-more females ask questions than those groups who haven't pre-written questions.
