Learning how to ask good questions helps shape our learning

Learning how to ask good questions helps shape our learning. Science is constantly building on the work of those who came before. Review the news story you chose to complete the topic exploration graphic organizer from Theme 1 and respond to the question below.

What question related to the topic in the news story you chose would you, assuming the role of a natural scientist, like to study?

Use your response to this question and the list of questions that you posed in Project 1: Topic Exploration Graphic Organizer (submitted at the end of Theme: Understanding the Scientific Process) to select one question that interests you and that you would like to focus on as you continue your project work in the course.

As you complete this assignment, keep in mind that your answer to this question or closely related questions will be part of your Project 2 submission, the question development worksheet. It is recommended that, in addition to entering the answer to the question below, you save your answer in a Word document that you can refer to later when completing Project 2.

This activity will be graded based on completion.
