Social scientists are detectives at heart.
They conduct their investigations by looking for clues in photographs, documents, polls, census data and media. The Internet has a wealth of resources for your investigation. The Net Investigations project is designed as a high school improvement resource to provide engaging web-based activities to support the Md. State Department of Education Core Learning Goals and to build student reading and writing literacy, data literacy and critical thinking skills. Net Investigations activities harness the great resources of the World Wide Web to provide appropriate, authentic content for each activity. Master MCPS classroom teachers develop the activities and participate in workshops to train other classroom teachers to use Net Investigations as an instructional tool.
