This module contains downloadable PDF files for individual Ranking Task Exercises on topics covered in this chapter. Ranking Task Exercises are a type of conceptual exercise that asks you to make comparative judgements about a set of variations on a particular physical situation. The basic structure of a Ranking Task has four elements:

1. the description of the situation, including the constraints and the basis for ranking arrangements
2. a set of figures showing the different arrangements to be compared
3. a place to write down the ranking of the variations
4. a place to write down the reasoning behind the chosen ranking
