Ok. At this point I’m going to assume you’re at least willing to entertain the idea that students should be allowed to do scientific inquiry at the highest levels. So let’s move onto the practical aspect of how you might implement student research. The first is to address the scientific method.
How do you want to divide the work? How can we get the most out of our time? Work in pairs? Work individually?
