🧪 Matching Methods to Sculpture Questions
Critical Thinking & Problem Solving
Content Expertise
The teacher models how different question types (experimental comparison of texture vs. smoothness, observational study of proportion accuracy, peer survey on emotional impact) require different methodologies. Using examples connected to clay bust techniques, students classify sample research questions and identify independent, dependent, and controlled variables using a scaffolded template in their notebooks.
