In Research Skills Enrichment, we explored the importance of being curious and asking thoughtful questions about the world around us. We came up with some fantastic questions, including “Why do whales sleep?” and “Why do we shiver?” Once we had our questions, we researched the answers using a variety of sources. We also learned that not every source is equally reliable, so we had to think critically about where our information came from and check that it was accurate. We discovered that being a good researcher means not only finding answers but also questioning and evaluating the information we find.
