Pod 1: Up to the Mark

In this Nuffield Foundation activity students carry out an investigation into some sporting techniques to establish whether practice improves performance. They conduct research into the rationale for training schedules for different sports. Students then investigate target games to explore whether scoring systems reward skill fairly and trial different point systems to see how they affect the outcome of league competitions. Finally groups of students conduct a short, independent inquiry where they design a new scoring system for a familiar game.
