1. EMPIRICAL REASONING
How do I prove it?
This goal is to think like a scientist: to use empirical evidence and a logical process to make decisions and to evaluate hypotheses. It does not reflect specific science content material, but instead can incorporate ideas from physics to sociology to art theory.
- What idea do I want to test? (essential question)
- What has other research shown?
- What is my hypothesis? How can I test it?
- What information (data) do I need to collect?
- How will I collect the information?
- What will I use as a control in my research?
- How good is my information?
- What are the results of my research?
- What error do I have?
- What conclusions can I draw from my research?
- How will I present my results?
