Research: daily business

People do research all the time: if you want to find out more about something you are interested in, you follow certain steps. You have a question, you try to find sources that will help you find answers. These sources might be your friends, other people, experts, books, manuals, how-to videos, experiments, you name it.

In school often your teacher will guide you to the field that you will have to research. The way to tackle it is the same as how you would go about it with self-initiated problems. Probably in school you will have to record your steps, remember where you looked for answers, take notes, and formulate your learning in a formalised way. That is called the Research Process. A tool to help you organise your research projects is NoodleTools.
