Research Questions

The first article I read/reviewed is called "Fast-Food Consumption and Educational Test Scores In The USA" (I found it using the ERIC database)

Although the article raises many more questions while also providing more information about the topic, it helped me think of some possible research questions.

Topic: Effects of Nutrition on Learning Acheivement

Research Questions: 

Is there a direct correlation between having a diet with little nutritional value and academic achievement?

What types of food negatively affect academic achievement?-What characteristics of the food define poor nutrition?

Do students with the tendancy to eat foods with little nutritional value have low levels of achievement?

Research topic idea

Talk to the school you are student teaching at. Ask if there is anything that they are particularly interested in researching at this time. This may make your ethnographic research a little easier to collect, while also making yourself more marketable for a job!
