    In the meantime click here for a version of this starter only requiring version 6 of Flash Player."

Notes for Teacher: The five questions will show on an infinite loop so that it can be playing as the students enter the room. If there is any doubt about a net you can click the pause button then print out the net for cutting out and folding.
Teacher, do your students have access to computers?
Do you have "Laptops in Lessons"?

Whether your students each have a TabletPC or share a desktop PC, this activity lends itself to eLearning (Engaged Learning).
