Overview

This unit of work should run over a number of weeks and could include anywhere from 5 - 7 lessons dependant on the achievements of the students or the chosen directions of all participants. The important point here is that the unit should be flexible enough to change should the process require a rethink in direction.

The unit requires students to create a presentation for an audience about their research and their creations.
