There are four reasons for using the ‘What is the Question technique:
(i) it encourages students to develop their thinking skills
(ii) through discussion, students use and therefore internalise technical, scientific language
(iii) as the method is not used in classrooms frequently, it is more engaging
(iv) it is fun and there are no right answers therefore students make more of an effort to find suitable answers.
The resource consists of a single PowerPoint slide with six ‘answers’ related to graphene. Students are asked ’ If this is the answer, what is the question?’
It is a powerful tool to develop students thinking skills.
Possible answers are provided but there is no right and wrong.
There is a second visual version with images instead of words. ? It will be helpful to students with difficulty reading words; it will be useful to students who are visual learners; it provides an alternative approach for other learners.
