Bellingham Schools Research Investigation

5th Grade

 

 

Sorting and Sifting Information
Organize and select information that contributes to your understanding.

You have had several sessions for gathering data from a variety of sources.

Look at your notes sheet and your web. Ask yourselves these questions.

·        Have we completed our note taking?

·        Is all the information clear to us?

·        Do we know enough to see differences between life in each civilization?

·        Is there information that doesn’t fit with our research questions?

You may need to continue gathering information, delete some facts that don’t relate, or even develop a new focus question.
