Steps in the process

What do I already know

What do I still need to find out?

What sources and equipment can I use?

Students should be able to:

• recall relevant information and skills from previous experience

• recognise strengths and limitations of current knowledge and decide whether additional information and/or skills are needed

• limit an investigation to a manageable size

• identify possible sources (people, organisations, places, print, electronic materials, objects)

• recognise the relative worth of sources

• select the best of these sources to use

• locate sources and appropriate equipment

• use appropriate equipment

• record details of sources that are used.
