    <Content>&lt;p&gt;Data and background information will be provided for students to produce several research projects across the range of environmental sciences. The projects are designed to demonstrate the requirements of research, a common process for carrying out research, and to teach the skills needed. Projects will progress from those based on comparison of measurements, to comparison of relationships, to comparison of observations to models. All projects will teach students how to communicate by construction of logical written argument.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Students use video guidance on Blackboard to carry out each Project and then receive feedback in classroom sessions with small group interaction mediated via Kahoot and Mentimeter.&lt;/p&gt;</Content>
