BUGS: How to do it?

Easy as 1, 2, 3, 4
1 - Go get your "lesson in a backpack",
2  - Unzip backpack and present to class
3 - Have a blast!
4 - When the dust has settled: reflect on your experience and "pay it forward" (see the right hand panel of this page)

Of course, it helps if you've taken a look at the lesson plan ahead of time.  Check out lesson plans here.
