"Following instructions" activity

I used this as a competition whilst working at a school in Peru/ Can be used as an introduction to writing a scientific method or just as a fun little competition at the end of term etc. Students have to do exactly what the instructions say using a piece of paper.

Students investigate length of day in Summer/Winter. Each group of students need a light source and access to a globe (blow up ones will do). The instructions are quite hard to follow so perhaps groups could be organized by ability. If there are very low ability students in the class, the teacher could assist the lower ability group.
