While you're setting up the room
The week I always dreaded most was the first one. Nobody's in a routine, half your roster changes, and you're still supposed to teach something.
So I built the whole thing out. Lab safety, scientific method, graphing, measurement, and the engineering design process as student-led station labs. Print them, run them, done. That's your first week handled without planning a single lesson.
