Over the next few weeks we will be focusing on things that fly.
Your research challenge requires you decide on something that flies – it can
be a type of plane, a hot air balloon etc
Instead of just finding out about something that flies you need to consider why the class might want to learn about this e.g. How has the hot air balloon changed over time?
Step 1
What
is your umbrella question?
That
is the “so what” question for your idea.
Why
does this matter to people???
Step 2
Research
Questions: (approximately 5)
What
do I need to find out to answer my umbrella question?
What
are my specific questions?
(eg When was the hot air balloon first invented? What was the first hot air balloon made out of?)
Step 3
Getting Information
Where can I get the information I need?
What are the key words I will need to search with?
