Assignment task:

Step 1: Look around you. Make careful observations. What do you see? What kinds of phenomena define the landscape that you see before you? What kinds of organisms travel along it? How does water move through it (think precipitation, how does water get into the ground? Where is the closest water body where a drop of water might end up?) What kinds of things can't you see that you might be curious about? Don't limit yourself or your thinking. Stretch your mind. Include the land, the sky, the soil, etc. Observe the big picture as well as the tiny picture.

Below, briefly describe the environment around you. Remember the environment includes the atmosphere, biosphere, lithosphere (the ground) and the hydrosphere (lakes, oceans, rain):

Step 2: Now write your observations in the form of scientific questions. Scientific questions are those that can be addressed using observation and hypothesis testing. Write at least ten scientific questions. Think big; think small and everywhere in between.

10.

Question picked:

Hypothesis 1:

Hypothesis 2:

Step 4: Now, as best you can, write a paragraph describing an experiment or study you could run to address your question. In your study, tell me what the independent and dependent variables are. What sort of things should be controlled for?
