anyqs, I haven't used that term in awhile. Today in Science we worked on asking questions and talked about the difference between an open ended question, and a closed question. We talked about the benefits and drawbacks of each type, and why it is important to focus on both types of questions. I introduced this with a picture of some cluster of stars and writing "The entire universe is made of matter." There job was to generate as many questions as they could in a group and withhold judgement of the questions. They will then work on translating them from open to closed and closed to open. They will use some of these questions toward research that they are going to be doing on matter. I cannot wait to see what this brings out for the students.
