Questioning
What do you need to know to solve the problem or make the decision?
Keep
in mind the big question for this investigation: How do geography
and resources affect the choices people make in Washington State?
In this project, you will be answering a more specific question:
Which regions of Washington will your family visit on your summer
vacation?
Before
we try to answer this question, we have some smaller questions to
think about.
Mountain Climbing:
- What
mountains are available for climbing?
- What
are some characteristics of the mountain? (How high is it? Are
there glaciers? Is the mountain volcanic?)
- How are
the mountains different in different regions?
White Water Rafting:
- Where
can we raft?
- How challenging
- what would be a good river
- What
will you see on your rafting trip?
Fishing:
- What
bodies of water are available for fishing?
- What
kinds of fish are you likely to catch?
- Is a
boat needed or can we fish from land?
Festivals:
- What
are some good festivals that the whole family would enjoy?
- How
do these festivals feature the geography and resources of the
region?
- Which
festival activities would be especially fun?
