🧪 Matching Method to Question Type

Effective Communication Submission Required

Using sample research questions about species adaptations, students categorize each as comparative (fossil/image analysis), archival (secondary source analysis), or observational. The teacher models how different question types require different data sources and procedures. Students then identify the best-fit approach for their own species question and briefly justify their choice in their research notebook.
