What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students develop questions and participate in shared research or exploration to answer them and build knowledge. They contribute findings to the group.
What Mastery Looks Like
- The student asks a researchable question, uses a provided source or observation, and reports a relevant answer. The finding connects to the inquiry.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may ask opinion-only questions. They may collect an interesting fact unrelated to the shared question.
How to Assess It
- Give a shared topic. Ask students to develop one question, investigate a provided source, and report an evidence-based answer.
