🧭 Matching Questions to Methods

Critical Thinking & Problem Solving Content Expertise 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.
