- Abstract
Students did not actually need to use the materials to construct a bandage (though they could), but they were required to promote a procedure and reliable "test" that could be used to determine the usefulness of a given material. Imagine an elementary classroom filled with students reporting the results of multiple student-led investigations that are intended to help a bandage company determine what materials should be used to make their latest and greatest medical-grade bandage. We allowed student groups of three to four to carry out their own investigation, but teachers may want to consider providing more structured guidance depending on their students. We observed this with our own students, recognizing that they would refer back to the test results when explaining why a certain material would be better suited for use in a bandage compared to other materials.
