13/2/2009 - Resources in response to this question from Jonathan Jaffrey ("We use cheap scotia lengths for ramps & got great results.")

"We are considering changing the assessment task for Level 1 Science 1.1 AS90186 this year for some of our students. We currently do the Reaction Rate investigation (Mg and acid) and are looking to changing it to something with more of a physics or biology bent. We may choose the Trolleys down the Ramp investigation or we are wondering if anyone else has any great investigations that work well and would meet moderation requirements!. Brendon"

11/1/08 “Here is a site that has game templates. They are still quite basic and not as flashy as the actual game shows, but still stimulating for the kids. Mine are a very hard bunch to amuse and even they enjoyed my ecology version!"
