 ACTIVITY #1 (A)
PREPARE A BRAINSTORMING TABLE
• Choose 2 or 3 ideas for your Research
Project topic that you are interested in.
• For each topic, create a 'What do I already
know?' and 'What do I want to find
out?' table.
• Make these 2 or 3 tables as detailed as
possible
Put these on a separate page and title
them
 EXAMPLE OF BRAIN STORMING TABLE
TOPIC: INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION
What I know
 That the ISS orbits the earth and is operated
by astronauts from all over the world (USA,
Russia and Japan).
 Astronauts on board conduct science
experience as well as space walks outside
the ISS.
 Astronauts stay on the ISS for long periods
of time (4, 6 months).
 Different nationalities occupy different sections
of the ISS, however astronauts do go in and out
of different sections despite their nationality.
What I want to find out
 Why the international space station was launched and
how they did it?
 Which country was the driving force that allowed the ISS
to come about?
 What experiments are conducted aboard the ISS?
 How does the work of astronauts on the ISS benefit
and effect people on earth? How are their findings and
discoveries relevant?
 Do some countries prioritise space exploration more
than others? Does this effect which countries fund the
ISS?
 Do astronauts of different nationalities share their
findings/discoveries with other astronauts from different
countries? Do they work together? Or are discoveries
confidential?
ACTIVITY #1 (B)- CREATE A MIND MAP

• Once you are confident about your topic,

produce a mind map to demonstrate your
thinking.
• Include all of the parts/sections of your topic
that you can think of.
• Put this on a separate page and title it
'Brainstorming - Mind Map'
• Make this as detailed as possible
