Research helps us answer questions and discover new knowledge. The same method can be used in both science and social studies. The Research Steps are:
#1: Define the Problem/Ask a Question-What is puzzling?
#2: Review the Evidence-What have others found out?
#3: Develop a Hypothesis or Thesis Statement-What is my guess? What do I think?
#4: Choose a Research Method-How am I going to collect data? What research technique is best to use?
#5: Gather Data/Information-experiment, interview, survey, read, analyze pictures, reference materials, internet
#6: Analyze the Results/Make a Conclusion-What have I found out?
#7: Report the Findings- What is important about what I discovered? What is the most effective way to share my findings(written report, speech, powerpoint, movie, poster, etc)?
#8: Assess Performance-Are there unanswered questions? Were steps completed thoroughly and carefully?
