Historical Investigation

1
Historical Investigation 1) Clearly describe the
event examined 2) identify what is known or
agreed on and what is not known or what
involves disagreement 3) offer a hypothetical
scenario based on what you know about the
situation 4) seek out and analyze evidence to
determine if your hypothetical scenario is
plausible

Experimental Inquiry 1) observe something of
interest and describe what you observe 2) apply
principles to explain what you have observed 3)
based on your explanation, generate a hypothesis
to predict what would happen if you applied
this principle to a related situation 4) set up
an experiment or engage in an activity to test
your hypothesis 5) explain your results and
decide whether your hypothesis was valid and
if you need to conduct additional tests
