Step 3: Understanding the Problem/Process

Step 3: Understanding Problem/Process

It is time to dive into the research. Just like it is mentioned in the LAUNCH book, research does not have to be boring. If we have great questions, then we can do some amazing learning. Research is more than just books and articles. This is time to speak to experts, go on field trips, watch documentaries, email professionals, and more.

Below are four ideas to get started. As we all start to share ideas and resources we will add them to this page so we all have an opportunity to learn.

Classroom Activities

This is an excellent time to reach out to the experts for more learning with a virtual field and to ask questions from the questions you have gathered in step 2.
