School Holidays
In this Nuffield exploration, students consider what factors might affect the choice of dates for school holidays and use these to determine the holiday dates for an alternative school year.
The key processes developed through the activities include:
*Representing - deciding what factors to take into account, identifying variables and associated constraints.
*Analysing - working with times and dates, handling data.
*Interpreting and evaluating - drawing together needs/preferences/findings to reach a solution.
*Communicating and reflecting - giving a clear summary of approach and conclusions as well as presenting solution clearly.
