Teachers are encouraged to extend and develop these ideas to meet the needs of their own classes. Included is a survey which can be used at home with parents as a homework activity. Teachers should consider whether to download the chart themselves or let the children do so. Data can be tranferred to a class database and, in turn, submitted to the Tea Trail web site to build up a national database of tea drinking habits.
Pupils can compare their class results with the national results.
