- You can do the experiment on a race track or on a field.
- It is vital that the horse is not harmed - race horses are expensive!
- In a group, make a detailed plan on your project. Take into consideration such points as:
- How many days do you need to complete the project?
- How much money do you expect to spend (remember that all the tools are free of charge)?
- How many tests will you need to do before the final photo-shooting session?
- Present your project to the whole class.
