 * Students will be able to propose two different target populations for one study
 * Students will be able to use specific vocabulary and key concepts.
 * ** Students will be able to evaluate different sampling techniques for a study **
 * Students will be able to explain how the different types of sampling work.

**Activities / Strategies** - Students will exchange their puzzle with another pair's and compare, decide on the answers as a group. Mention the winner and give a prize (could even be something simple like a sticker) (7 minutes)
 * **Name** || **Level** || **Description / Instructions** || **Type** || **Handout / File** ||
 * Match the meaning || S-L || As a **Starter:**
 * -** In pairs, students have to complete a puzzle matching words and meanings. The teacher will only tell each pair how many correct answers they have, but not which ones. (7 minutes)

Tip: give a puzzle to each student even if they have to solve it in pairs, that way you make sure that everyone has it on their notes. || Pairs || || - Divide the classroom into two teams. - One member of each team passes to the front and the teacher will give that student a type of sampling. The student will then have to act it out (without talking or making any type of sound) so that their classmates guess it. (they get one minute to do it) - The Team with the most guessed types of sampling wins. || Group ||  || - This can be **HW or a class activity** it will help you evaluate the learning || Individual || ||
 * Charades || S-L || in Teams:
 * Exercise ||  || - Propose a sampling thechnique for the following ideas (handout)


 * ~ Type Key ||
 * Individual . || Activity performed completely by the student himself. ||
 * Pairs || Acitivty performed in pairs to either to share, check or generate results. ||
 * Group || Activity performed in groups, strongly recommended in groups of 3 or 4 and assigned by the teacher. ||
 * Peer-Assess . || Activity that will be marked by peers. mark scheme should be provided before hand and explained. ||
 * Self Assess . || Activity that will be marked by one self. Mark scheme should be provided before hand and explained. ||
