Hints and Tips

Delivery session

• Split the students into groups of ~ 3 or 4
• Go round all of the groups and find out what they think the code is to get into the box. Write all codes down (on the classroom whiteboard if there is one available) and get a volunteer to choose a code to try
• When they have opened the suitcase, and explored the contents, get them to pack it away (this gives them ownership of the suitcase)

Collection session (incl rocket launch)
