1. List down six research questions to be tested.

2. Each group member should contribute at least one research question to be tested.

3. If you are unable to edit any posts, reply as comments.

Research Question 1

• "How do magnets know to repel?"

• "How do different materials act as conductors or insulators of electricity?"

Shanice Kiong

Research Question 2

• "How absorbent different materials are?"

Vidia Soh

Research Question 3

• " How does rain form?"

Jayden Tan

Research Question 4

• "How does the type of metal affect the number of paper clips attracted when the metal is magnetized?"

Joriah Lee

Research Question 5

• "How does the number of paper clips a magnet pick up change with different type of magnets?

Noel

Research Question 6

• why fire is not a living thing even though it "consumes" things such as wood, "reproduces" through spreading and needs air and water in the gaseous state to "survive"

1. Rank the six research questions. Discuss and select the first choice which the group feels is the most doable for the project work. Recall all the considerations during your group discussion:

   • Are there any safety concerns about the experiment?

   • What materials does the project require?

   • Are all the materials and apparatus readily available in the Physical and Life Science Rooms?

   • Is the project idea original? Is the project similar to any Science activity that was conducted previously?

   • What will be the duration taken for the collection of the data?

   
   

2. Submit the first choice research question in the post, ‘Draft Research Question’ below. (Edit post)

   
   

3. Key into Fairbot, this first choice. Evaluate the feedback given by Fairbot on the clarity of the research question. Use Fairbot to refine the research question, if necessary.

   
   

4. If your first choice is not feasible, repeat step 2 - 5 for your second choice. Use prompts in Fairbot to get feedback on each research question until the group has reached a decision on the research question to undertake.

   
   

5. Submit the group's 'Final Research Question' in the post below. (Edit post) In this post, state the change (if any) to the research question that your group has made based on the feedback given by Fairbot and the reason for the change.

   
   

6. Discuss as a group and key in prompts into Fairbot to think ahead about some considerations of the project that you may want to take note of before conducting the hands-on experiment. Key in these considerations in the post, 'Considerations of the Project (based on feedback from Fairbot)' below. (Edit post)

• "How does the type of metal affect the number of paper clips attracted when the metal is magnetized?"

1. Each group member should contribute one entry on Padlet for the individual reflection.

   
   

2. Key onto a Padlet note below, the following:

   • 3 things that you have learnt about project work / designing an experiment thus far

   • 2 things that Fairbot has helped with the project work thus far

   • 1 thing that you wish Fairbot can help you with in project work

(2) What concept you can use to explain the results?

(3) Can you explain the difference in results you had gotten?

(4) Can you compare the differences between results and explain...

(4) Is the results what you had predicted?

(5) What is the relationship between .....

Aim: To find out the magnetic strength of a magnetic material

1.) I learnt how important procedures are

2.) I learnt why teamwork is important

3.) I learnt why the group leader is important in the group

2 things Fairbot helped me with

1.) The procedures

2.) Choosing the research question

1 thing I wish Fairbot can help me with

1.) Choosing the materials
