Note for teachers: This "serial pairwork" activity is designed to be done with the whole class. Give each student a copy of the data collection sheet and one data card. If there are more than ten students, just make extra copies and give the same card to two or more students. As students go around the room collecting information from their classmates, if they happen to pair with another student with the same card they can simply stop the exchange and find a new partner.
