Original Promptneed a step by step graphic organizer to help students gather information from their research and complete this project.
This learning resource is designed to guide students through a structured inquiry project in science. It emphasizes the process of defining a real-world problem, conducting research, and proposing a well-thought-out solution based on evidence. Students will begin by formulating a specific research question and an initial hypothesis. The project involves a comprehensive roadmap that outlines steps from questioning to solution development. Key components include collecting evidence from various sources, analyzing findings, and formulating a solution using a Claim, Evidence, Reasoning (CER) framework. Students are also encouraged to engage in critical thinking with a challenge extension that prompts them to consider how to adapt their solution under resource constraints.
