This activity will allow children to explore ways in which we measure the hardness of surfaces. It also leads into those sports where the hardness of the surface is particularly important. Useful for developing investigative skills.

Such an activity will help develop measurement skills, and so contribute to the numeracy agenda. The links to the web pages on the BLOODHOUND SSC site will support the literacy programme. Drawing bar charts or constructing graphs will help to show the connection between mathematics and science. Connecting this activity to sports and safety (Clegg Hammer) links to the Every Child Matters outcomes and aims.
