As an example, in the video they chose the topic of insects, with a subtopic of bees. One good open question that could focus the research was "Why do bees work together as a community?" This is a good question because it is open ended, complex, doesn't have a yes/no or one definitive answer, and can lead to deeper thinking.

Thinking about topics, let's assume you chose the topic of dogs, and your subtopic that you want to focus on is dog breeds, specifically. What would be a good open question that would focus your research?

A good open question that could focus your research on dog breeds could be "What are the factors that contribute to the diverse characteristics and traits seen across different dog breeds?" This question allows for exploration of various factors such as genetics, environment, selective breeding, and historical significance in shaping the distinct characteristics of different dog breeds. It encourages a deeper understanding of the factors that influence the variety of dog breeds we see today.
