Teach the structure of inquiry.
Connect the question with background reading, a suitable method, observation, evidence, interpretation, and limitations. Make the reasoning visible through a worked example.
Give useful feedback.
Identify one strength in the method or evidence. Ask one question that helps the learner refine the work. Invite a revision and allow alternative ways to communicate.
Review with responsibility.
Use the appropriate institutional permissions before accessing or sharing learner records. Assess research quality separately from confidence, fluency, or the personal story a child chooses to disclose.
