In 2010, students are collaborating to share and explore data about a simple shuttle run.
This will involve four teams of students taking turns to run 20 metres, drop their shuttle in to a container and return to the team so the next student can take their turn.
All teams will put their shuttles in a single container - we are only interested in the total number of shuttles the class can move in 2 minutes, then 4 minutes and finally 6 minutes. For more details, go to the Core Activity.
Each participating school will be in the running to some exciting educational prizes. Details later.
