Teacher P.D. Webinar: Writing Research Questions
Event Time: 04:00 pm - 05:00 pm
Location: Webinar 2pm MST/4pm EST
Having students develop a GLOBE project can be daunting, especially for those new to field investigations or carrying out research independently for the first time. Developing a narrow, interesting and doable (with the equipment on hand and in the time allotted) research question is the first step. Often, students attempt to solve the world’s problems with a complex question that cannot be answered within the time constraints of a typical schoolday. During this webinar, Dr. Kevin Czajkowski will help participants develop grade-appropriate research questions and discuss ways to incorporate narrower but more frequent field investigations throughout the school year. In preparation, teachers are encouraged to have a couple research questions to share with the group.
