Thinking objective: Science
Planning
- How can I design research to test this hypothesis?
- What are all of the critical variables that need to be considered?
- Which variables need to be controlled?
Monitoring
- Does the research design validly test this hypothesis?
- Should I try a different approach?
- Am I recording all the observations accurately?
Evaluating
- How effective was my experimental design?
- Were my conclusions justified by the results?
- How could I be a more accurate observer and recorder next time?
