Research Scavenger Hunt


To make the learning process more interactive, try this scavenger hunt:

1. Divide the topics among members. Sign up names on the form below.

2. Team members find information on their topic, using the resources on the following pages. Provide a certain amount of time for research (until the next meeting).

3. Schedule an education session. Each member summarizes and shares information with the group. Bring printouts, notes or mini-reports with basic facts.
