Extension and enrichment

  • A visit to a theme park would provide a range of opportunities for research and stimulus material. Pupils could use a digital camera to record images and video for the unit.
  • Teachers could make a pre-visit to a theme park to collect video and digital images.
  • Simulation and games software relating to theme parks could be made available to out-of-school clubs as useful background experiences.
  • An additional activity could be the planning and construction of physical models, including ones using water flow, which could then be used in conjunction with the sensors and systems.
