Lesson 3: Cooperative Conjectures
Handout 3

Research Cycle: Conjectures/Phase Three

After each member has completed his or her job, meet to share information. Then on your own, write a description of the big question and make a thoughtful conjecture (an inference based on incomplete information). The conjecture should address the question and can be proved through further research.


What is the big question that your group is researching?
