Inquiry Strategies for the Journey North Teacher Asking, "How Do We Know What We Know?" Back to Menu of Inquiry Strategies Identifying Sources of Evidence As students try to develop hypotheses or explanations, or draw conclusions about an aspect of a Journey North study, ask them to categorize the different types or sources of information that help them make their judgments. They can also apply this same exercise when they review Journey North scientists' research. Use these categories (when they apply): What did we observe? What did the data "tell" us?

Ask the class to note and discuss the contributions that different information sources make to their emerging theories (or to those of scientists).
