Abstract

In this paper we describe the development of a project to provide Internet-based resources for collecting and disseminating data collected from experiments based on ideas from science and psychology. We discuss how both the website and the method of capturing data have evolved and led to our recent redesign of the ExperimentsAtSchool website (www.experimentsatschool.org.uk). We explain how these interactive experiments, which are both fun and engaging for learners, provide innovative ways for helping them to develop and improve their data handling and statistical skills.
