Team Maker
Paste your class list once, then pick a random name or split the class into balanced lab groups in one click.
How to use it
Paste your class list once; it's saved on this device only. Pick a name chooses at random, and with "don't repeat" on, nobody is picked twice until everyone has had a turn. Make groups shuffles the class into even groups, either a set number of groups or groups of a set size. Leftovers are spread so no group is more than one person bigger than another.
Free to use, no account needed. It runs in your browser: nothing you type, and no sound from your microphone, is sent to Fieldbook.
Hands-on lessons to pair with Team Maker
Ready-to-teach units, each lesson a printable teacher guide and student sheet. Your first three lessons are free.
Simple Circuits: Make It Light Up
Light a bulb with one wire, hunt for materials that let electricity through, find out why string lights all go dark at once, and build a burglar alarm. Four hands-on lessons on closed loops, safe and cheap.
Pushes, Pulls and Magnets
Why a rolling ball always stops, whether a magnet can pull through a table, and how far a paper clip will jump. Three lessons on the pushes and pulls that start, stop and steer things.
Power Up: Where Electricity Comes From
Where does the electricity in our classroom come from, and why is it made differently in different places? Students trace the wires, build a wind machine that does real work, and weigh up solar power like an energy planner.
