'''Implications for classroom layout:''' Pupils can work at a board or wall space. Alternatively, teams can work around their team table. 

'''How does it work?'''

2. Pupils place the effect at the tip, or nose, of the skeleton. 

3. The four bold lines (or fish bones) represent possible main causes.
