Develop a testable hypothesis / research question.
2. Our hypothesis / research question is: 3. Plan of activities (you could indicate by which activities you are involved as a full team and by which you are going to divide responsibilities, in this case, specify, who is responsible for what).
Please use this tool to assess the reliability of the sources used. Write a summary of your findings in the table.
