Submission Required
Students analyze sample comparative research questions about animal adaptations and determine which method type fits best (comparative literature analysis, observational study, archival data review). The class co-creates a criteria anchor chart outlining how to justify why a chosen method answers a specific question. Students then draft a short rationale explaining why their selected approach fits their own research question.
