The activity is intended to be used as a research activity but could also be used as a reading comprehension activity, a homework task, a pre-test of knowledge or a post test to test content retention. There are many other ways that a teacher may be able to use this and similar activities in the TPD store.

You may wish to have the students work in groups of two or individually to complete the work sheet.3. Students can be called on to provide answers to questions following their research.
4. The teacher may wish to use the worksheet as a pre test, testing knowledge that the students may have prior to study.
5. The worksheet could be provided as a homework task
6. The worksheet can be used as an emergency extra or substitute lesson when the usual teacher is not present.
