Team will comprise
groups of 9 – 10 students of mixed gender, and mixed ability and skills. One
of the goals is to promote teamwork in mixed ability groups so that higher
ability students get opportunities for peer instruction, and lower ability
students benefit from the more advanced collaboration that will arise from
this.

A group working area in the classroom will be set aside with tables
and chairs to allow more effective interaction among team members. A
classroom wall near the project area will be set aside to post paper
materials collected during research. Computer labs will be used for the
majority of the online work. Research notes will be recorded in
computers/blogs. Some collaboration between students will take place through
email/blog/whats’app.
