Like Robin Hood I was born in Nottingham so have always liked to play with bow and arrows. I used to make them from sticks cut from a hedge and a piece of string, I have often thought that this could be a good basis for a design lab but never got round to it until now. I had no difficulty thinking of 10 research questions in a couple of minutes, hopefully my students will find it as easy. Subscribers can read my 10 here.

Actually tried this one out today and the students (SL) managed to come up with loads of interesting research questions. As you can see in the photo some were more William Tell than Robin Hood but there you go. Managed to quell the idea of mounting an attack on the Environmental Systems classroom which is probably a good thing since they were busy digging soil samples with real spades and forks. They would have simply laughed in the face of our straws and cardboard as they mounted their counter attack.
