To help with this part of the project, download the workbook to help you create your Research Question and Project Scope. You might find it useful to print out the document if you can but it's not required.

Make suggestions on what to include in your project if you are unsure
Look at your project (you can upload attachments in Brightside) and give you feedback if you want.
Answer any other questions you might have.
Time needed: 3-5 hours
