Project Boxes and Event Packs are a range of online, interactive learning experiences from Actis.

• Project Boxes are a computer-based equivalent of a teacher's plastic resource box, containing everything needed to run an exciting, curriculum-based activity with a class.

Every Project Box or Event Pack contains all you need to deliver an exciting Internet based learning adventure to your class or group. Each contains a wide variety of tailored curriculum linked activities and clear learning objectives along with planning and assessment opportunities. A Project Box provides an innovative and flexible unit of work to resource your classroom. Created and written by skilled education consultants and serving teachers, and given extensive classroom trials, Project Boxes have proved to be the equal of many top paper-based resources.

Activities are instantly brought to life. Suddenly, children are no longer simply responding to a list of tasks on a worksheet. Instead they take on roles of key decision-makers. They have to make a thorough investigation of problems, continually prioritise a series of possible responses, then ensure their choices of action are carried out successfully.

The Smash Project Box, an investigation into the circumstances surrounding a terrifying road accident, is a good example. Included is everything you and your children will need to undertake this activity.

The clear guidance in the teachers' pack suggests how to organise the classroom, proposes when to make available each information sheet and advises on information to be gained at each stage.

Sound curriculum-linked activities, based on clear learning objectives, provide genuine assessment opportunities and act as a stimulus for further classroom sessions.

You are provided with comprehensive and easy-to-use teachers' notes, which are divided into three simple sections.

Before the activity contains the background story of Smash, advice and guidance on organising the activity and the technical steps involved in running it.

Running the activity includes all the lesson preparation material you need for the actual session.

After the activity contains a selection of curricular linked activities to make the most of the impact Smash will have on the class.
