Purpose: Finding the speed of an object is a fundamental step in understanding the relationships between forces, acceleration and motion. Practical measurement of speed in a classroom can be challenging as methods employed can be complex and time consuming. Using the camera function in a mobile computer (smart...

This mini-course from the Nuffield Exploratory Data Skills Project: Making Sense of Data is about interpreting and analysing two-way tables. As a result of this mini-course students should learn to:

• look for effects in a two-way table

• look for effects in a simple display

• understand what...

This is a concept development lesson that is designed to assess how well students understand:
