What I liked about Ask A Scientist website was the amount of related topics that stemmed from the original inquest. Many times other thought are given to help stretch further the investigation, but it is up to the researcher to continue the search. The positive aspect in this website was that it provided a link to find out the answers to the additional inquiries next to the related topics. Many times students lack the knowledge on how to start a project, this website would be a good starting point. It could also be used as a resource for discussions or simply for exploration about the world. Students, as well as teachers, will find that Ask A Scientist is a valuable teaching resource.
Melva,
ReplyDeleteI like that you had positive comments, even though you had to go a question multiple times to get answers. I became frustrated after the fourth time asking. Finding the positives in life is encouraging to others.
Melva,
ReplyDeleteI agree that this type of website can help students when they are trying to find a topic for a project, or trying to get answers to questions. It's a great way to "get the ball rolling."
