Students will engage in scientific practices by designing and conducting an investigation in  response to a provided research question at the end of the course.  To prepare for this, the TA will  lead a discussion about the design of each investigation throughout the semester.  Students may  brainstorm an investigation design together, but each student submits an individually written  assignment to the course website for a grade 
Please fully read the instructions for the format and rubric of this assignment in the file attached
