Abstract
Students are full of curiosity about the world. However, turning that curiosity into a good research question that students can use to actually learn about the world is difficult. This presentation provides a blueprint and set of checklists for helping students turn curiosity into solid theoretically-grounded research questions, as well as evaluate whether a research question they have actually works well.
