What are the two main parts of research in REACH?

• Hypothesis and Data Analysis

• Research Questions and Research Methods

• Primary Research and Secondary Research

• Problem Solving and Reflection

What is a research question?

• A random query about any topic

• A focused, feasible, and relevant question guiding your investigation

• A general inquiry about global issues

• A question that doesn’t require analysis

What are research methods in REACH?

• Steps for evaluating others' research

What are the three criteria for a strong research question?

• Relevance, Evidence, and Simplicity

• Feasibility, Relevance, and Structure

• Precision, Popularity, and Time-Sensitivity

• Simplicity, Objectivity, and Detail

​ What does feasibility in a research question refer to?

• The ability to find a quick answer

• The capacity to realistically answer the question with available resources

• How relevant the question is to current events

• The complexity of the topic

Why is structure important for a research question?

• It determines how broad the question is
