INVESTIGATION
The Investigation POL is a chance for you to introduce the standards that you learned in classes in an engaging way. You will construct a mini science investigation as a demonstration of what you have learned, walking your audience through a guiding question, data collection and analysis, and discussing what they learned from your activity. The point of this POL is to demonstrate what you have learned and to get your audience engaged and active! (Lee)
