Science

 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?
