Foods 10/11/12 - Controversial Foods Project (Robichaud)

Foods 10/11/12 Controversial Foods Inquiry (Mrs. Robichaud)

How much do we know about the foods we eat? In this inquiry project you will be working in small groups to research controversial foods.

First you will need to pick your partner and then decide on a topic from the following list. If you have other ideas that you would be interested in researching, please talk to Mrs. Robichaud or Mrs. Sutherland - we are open to other ideas!
Next, you will need to come up with a minimum 3 open-ended questions that will guide your research. Please write down and submit these questions to either Mrs. Robichaud or Mrs. Sutherland so that we know you are on the right track!
During your research, you will be expected to take notes and keep track of your sources of information using Noodletools.
You will be designing a webpage on a class website to show what you have learned and share your information with your classmates.

Finally, at the end of your project, you will be expected to give a brief presentation on your topic and findings.
