UPD8

I used this with middle ability year 8 as an end of year activity. This kept them engaged and working hard for a double lesson, and was a really good focus to improve their internet search skills. They enjoyed the element of competition too.

Excellent end of term activity - students didn't think they were working!

Reviewer: Carol Boag

Just right for the end of term. Plenty of challenge, fun and skill needed. I used it with Children who are Out of School and both special needs and excluded pupils have enjoyed it.

Reviewer: Jenny Elmes

Year 10 found this fun as a competition the lesson after their module exams - pleased I didn't start them on coursework right away!
Yet another great and topical piece of work - thanks!

Reviewer: Sarah Kononowicz

Did this with a top year 7 . A perfect activity as usual very topical . It had just the right amount of interest and rigour - well done once again - I always look to upd8 for inspiration and can't wait for you to launch the GCSE activites

I tried this with some KS3 pupils at our PRU. They have poor literacy skills and find researching on the internet difficult. At first they found it very difficult and needed help in selecting words to type into the search engine. By the next lesson they were much more confident and began to enjoy the activity. An excellent way to encourage use of internet research.

Absolutely brilliant - kept year 9's and lower ability year 10's quiet for 2 whole lessons.

I have carried out this activity with several groups. Top groups enjoy the competition, lower sets definitely required internet access. Excellent.

Reviewer: pam martin

Brilliant. Low ability year 9 enjoyed trying to find the answers using the internet. Am going to set as a homework challenge for another class.

Reviewer: Kerry Colyer

Fantastic - doing it with 9 set 2 - they are loving it, girls and boys. Going to make a really big display, cross-curricular links etc. Also did the Football ecological footprint one first, so have had a themed week!

Reviewer: rebecca noble
