# Task Lists ## ![](/files/QjxGNizi15UmyNHTIqDo) Intro The **Task lists** allows teachers to create a set of tasks for the students to perform individually. These tasks can be the steps of a science experiment or an orderly sequence of chores to complete as part of an exercise. ### Why do I want to use Task lists? 1. To **guide students through a methodology**.
2. Give students a **protocol to follow to complete a science experiment**.
3. If enabled, students can also **add their own tasks** to document their own experiments. {% hint style="success" %} **Educational Insight** Task lists are very useful when you need to guide your students through complex chores. Ideally these chores will allow students to learn how to apply a methodological approach to complete a task. The set of tasks give the students a methodology to follow to perform an experiement -for instance. {% endhint %} ### What can I use Task lists for? * Any type of experiment or lab work. * Give students a set of steps for them to follow methodologically. * Students to document a process of actions. ### How does it work? You (teacher) provide students with **a set of tasks** for the students to perform. As students complete these tasks, you can follow them at each step adding or commenting on their progress. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
