Pay careful attention to the “Supporting Work and Resources” section in the rubric below to help pull together the information you have already collected for this assignment.
Question Development Worksheet Template Word Document
To complete this assignment, review the Project 2 Guidelines and Rubric PDF document.
In Project 1, you selected a news story on a natural science topic. You described the science topic, identified the thesis, and described the evidence that
supported the thesis. Additionally, you posed questions that a natural scientist might be interested in based on the thesis and supporting evidence, and you then
identified resources where you might research the topic and questions.
In Project 2, you will complete a question development worksheet based on the Project 1 news story and natural science topic. In the Project 2 worksheet, you
will explain why you selected the news story, what you already know about the topic, and how it relates to other natural science topics in the course. At the end
of the worksheet, assuming the role of a natural scientist, you will pose your own question to study. The work you do on Project 2 will directly support your work
on Project 3 (a presentation), due later in the course.
Project 2 will assess the following course outcome:
Develop questions about fundamental aspects of the natural world that inform personal assumptions, beliefs, and values using empirical evidence
Prompt
In Project 1, you selected a news story and completed the topic exploration graphic organizer. Use this information to assist with completing the Question
Development Worksheet Template, addressing the following critical elements:
I. Why did you select this news story for scientific and personal study? In other words, what was it about the news story that interested you or made you
curious?
II. What prior knowledge and assumptions about the science topic did you have before viewing this news story? In other words, describe what you already
knew about the topic.
III. How does this news story relate to the natural science concepts covered in the course? In other words, which principles of natural science are relevant
to the news story you selected?
IV. What question related to the topic in the news story would you, assuming the role of a natural scientist, like to study? Use your previous responses and
the list of questions that you posed in your topic exploration graphic organizer to select one question that interests you.
