Connect to the science →From a place to a story
- Plan your inquiry. Choose your body of water. With guidance from your teacher and peers, outline research questions and a possible output.
- Research the four Pillars. Record evidence, dates and source links. Distinguish what a source measures from what it suggests.
- Create your response. Use a format that carries your message: a model, video or podcast, expert interview, newspaper article, Minecraft world or another approved idea.
Use the original outline and your teacher’s current instructions for assessment criteria, requirements and deadlines.
