Some of the possible tasks include: • a hands-on laboratory investigation • manipulated or observational fieldwork • using a spreadsheet for analysis and modelling • extracting data from a database and analysing it graphically • producing a hybrid of spreadsheet/database work with a traditional hands-on investigation • using a simulation, provided it is interactive and open-ended.
