"Sorry to hear that there's a problem Jean. It is probably because the Flash Player in your Internet browser has not been updated recently (version 8 is required). If your browser does not update itself you can download the latest version of the Flash player from the Adobe Web Site

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 one to one access to computers?

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