About the inquiry

This inquiry leads students through an investigation of whether polling can be trusted. By investigating the compelling question “Can Polls Be Trusted?” students evaluate what polls are, how they are used, and how we are growing more confused by them. The formative performance tasks build on knowledge and skills through the course of the inquiry and help students judge polls more effectively. Students create an evidence-based argument about the trustworthiness of polling.
