You May Change the graphic above and put in your own driving questions. State the essential question or problem statement for the project. The statement should encompass all project content and outcomes, and provide a central focus for your inquiry. Driving Questions can’t be Googled! Driving questions are: Provocative – Do Commercials paint an accurate picture of the United States? Open-Ended – Should the United States have used the atomic bomb in WWII? Go to the heart of a discipline or topic – How Safe is our drinking water? (Biology Chemistry principles applied in context – judgment and evaluation required) Are challenging – When are people justified in revolting against the established government? Can arise from real world dilemmas that you find interesting – How could we effectively prevent texting while driving?
