In the inquiry process, the stage that requires students to gather information from a variety of resources and organize that information using a graphic organizer or outline is typically known as the "Research" or "Investigation" stage.
During this phase, students actively collect data, information, or resources related to their inquiry or research question from various sources such as books, articles, websites, interviews, experiments, or other materials. They utilize different research methods to gather relevant information that can help answer their inquiry or address their research question.
This stage of the inquiry process plays a crucial role in fostering critical thinking, analysis, and synthesis of information, enabling students to develop a deeper understanding of the topic and formulate well-supported conclusions or solutions based on their research findings.
