Research Project
The outline for the research project is here: Science Inquiry Project outline 2022
The document for inquiry question submission can be found here: Science Independent Study question and terms – first step
The document for defining terms can be found here–please save it to your computer or flash drive and add to it as you go along: Science Inquiry Project Definition of Terms and Subsequent Questions
Don’t forgot to create a document to track your sources!
Try entering combinations of the key terms involved in your inquiry question into the search window of the below sources (a non-exhaustive list!):
CBC (articles)
CBC Listen (radio/podcasts)
Also try googling:
- “[your topic] cbc spark”
- “[your topic] cbc quirks quarks”
- “[your topic] cbc ideas”
I have DVD copies of two documentaries that might be useful to some of you, depending on your inquiry questions. If you click on the titles below, and scroll down on the Wikipedia page, you’ll find a section called “Episodes” that gives you a general idea of the content of each episode.
Let me know if you are interested in signing out the DVD!
