Presenter notes: Open by asking the class to name every device they used before arriving at school today. Expect an alarm, a phone, maybe a radio or television at breakfast. Write six or seven on the board. Do not sort them yet, just say that by the end of the lesson they will be able to split that list into two groups, and that most of them will get one of the items wrong on the first try.
