We have started our last major project of the year. Capstone. This is a project where you have one main inquiry question, which results in a lot of research, time, and is very interesting. Almost from the beginning, I knew that I wanted cells to be my topic. Towards the middle of figuring out my main inquiry, I came to the conclusion that I wanted to do red blood cell disorders. With the help of my teacher, Mrs. Ewards, I decided that my main inquiry question is “What role do red blood cells play in our health, and what happens when they do not function properly?”.

I started out with lots of questions in my curriculum wheel. When I thought that I had a good main inquiry question, I found out that the question was too narrow. I decided that my question had to be related to red blood cell disorders. I came to the conclusion with the help of my teacher, Mrs. Edwards, my main inquiry question. When I decided that red blood cells were going to be my topic, I had millions of questions that I could use. Finding out what was going to be the topic of my main inquiry question was definitely the hardest part. The minute I decided on my topic for my main inquiry question (rbc disorders) it made everything easier. I had my main inquiry question quickly after that.

After I found out my main question I had to do research. We had to start a note-taking slide show. I started my note-taking slideshow. I filled in the main inquiry question and sub questions. I started to fill in the research part.
