Current Events and Scientific Inquiry
It is beneficial to approach almost any problem with a method for finding a solution. Whether the issue is an oil spill, planning for natural disasters (like hurricanes and earthquakes) or identifying meteorites, there are situations every day that require thinking individuals to be involved.
Identify a current issue that would be easy to apply scientific inquiry to a solution to problem. Use the URL link to the story and describe what steps have been taking to reach a conclusion.
