How far? How fast? How high?

This task uses a Problem-Solving Approach and is designed to take approximately 3 hours of teaching time. This resource provides a structure for considering and investigating world records in athletics. It involves students handling data in order to answer questions or investigate a hypothesis. Pupils are encouraged to predict changes over time - by how much and how quickly are world records being broken in track and field events? Can we predict the likely World Records this time next year?
