Here is a clever way to get your pupils thinking about a science topic they'd like to research for a report, or a project they'd like to do for a science fair. The three-step process is easy to follow, and it really should help your learners focus their scientific thinking. The map is actually a graphic organizer that each pupil constructs. Very good!
