Spend some time looking at the homework you have done so far. Read the things you have been writing. Think carefully about the things you have been talking about recently. Think back to the videos we watched.
What are you interested in learning more about? What is most relevant to you at the moment or in the next year or so?
This will be your research for next week and you will become an expert on it. Select an inquiry carefully and write a comment to tell us what you will be working on.

Hi 6ss,
So my inquiry is going to be about beards. Because I think it’s pretty amazing the way beards just come out through your skin. Also I think that there’s still a lot of interesting things about beards that people should know.
I was thinking of focusing on the different types of deodorants and what kind of chemicals they contain and what it can do to your body.
Hi,
I think I am going to do my inquiry on acne and pimples because I don’t want to get them and I have some older cousins that have acne. I also want to know if “junk food makes pimples worse” is an urban myth and how you get acne/pimples and how do you get rind of them?

Hi everyone,
I am interested in moodiness and why they are moody while having a period and it is really wired cause when my mom is having a period she wakes up really angry and in the afternoon she is really kind.
Love Gina 😀
I and I would like to know what causes your body to be so moody.
Hi,
I think my inquiry will be on pimples and acne because I’m starting to get pimples, it’s more like a family thing. I want to find out what causes it.
are you doing it with caitie ?
What are you interested in learning more about?
I would like to do my ‘Who we are’ inquiry on SWEAT. The reason I would like to do it on sweat is because I do sport so I sweat quite a lot. I want to understand more about what is in sweat etc. I know that we sweat because our body is getting warm. I know that we start to smell because the bacteria start to eat our sweat. I really want to expand my thinking on this. I want to understand things like what kind of food we have in our sweat to attract bacteria.
What is most relevant to you at the moment or in the next year or so?
Something really relevant is definitely sweat. It applies to me a lot. I sweat quite a lot so I want to keep learning about this and expand my knowledge about this. I know the main things about sweat but it’s good to start learning more and more. You can never know too much about something and in this case I have a lot of things to learn.
Hi,
I think I will inquire on acne. I got really small one and it went quickly. I am really worried what if it happens to me again and I want to know how to cure it without getting it worse. So I want to inquire on acne.
It’s relevant to me in the next few years because I think I am starting to get some.
hi,
I think I want to inquire on moodiness because I want to know how and why people are moody during puberty. And I want to know how to make it better or to cure the moody days people have.
I want to make my inquiry about weakness, fainting, queasiness and nervous breakdowns. I am really scared of that happening because I know lots of my female relatives have that, so I am most likely to have that too, so I need to know how to avoid what can be avoided from happening.
I am looking forward to doing the inquiry and will research more about it in my free time.
I want to make my inquiry to be about what feelings you get once puberty starts, will you faint? will you get moody? You don’t know, thats why I wanna do a inquiry about it:]
Actually its about Moodiness.
I want to make my inquiry about skin care. As we grow up, we get pimples, acne(most common skin problem in puberty), etc. How do you take care of your skin? What can we do to prevent pimples? It is relavant to me because my skin is slowly changing.
Hi everyone!
What I want to inquire more about is the changes and challenges that we face during puberty. We learned a bit of the changes and challenges we face but I am pretty sure that there are more changes that happen to our body during puberty. I want to do this inquiry because I thought it was a very important thing to learn about for the future. There might be some others things that are highly important that I didn’t learn yet like alcohol, drugs and tobacco so I want to learn about them during this time.
Hi,
I’m sorry that I didn’t find out about this earlier, but I’m doing it now. I want to inquire into the issue of the challenges we face as we grow up-both physical and psychological. For example, your body might be going through some challenges, and not keeping up as well as your peers. I also want to learn the reasons why people are always troubled during this period of time, thus resorting to do bad things, such as doing drugs, drinking excessively, smoking, et cetera. I know that there are many reasons that cause these immoral activities to take place, and I want to learn more about them, so I can prevent them from happening to me, people in my family, and others who I want to help. I also desire to know why people go through psychological changes during these periods, such as the pathetic need and want for rebellion-why do you have to be rude and derogatory to your elders, such as parents and teachers? They have provided you with everything you needed to reach that point.
During this period, people always desire attention and a ‘cool’ public image among peers, thus resulting in them committing unprincipled acts- it is probably because of the way children are brought up. Of course, this varies throughout different countries- It is mostly in the west where children are exposed to different influences-however, this is now spreading to the east with the rise of western media, such as films, music, et cetera.
Most people who desire attention get their attention, as they are portrayed in a bad light due to their choice of actions. Most people who are like this are idiots because they think getting attention in a good light is too difficult, and they never try. Some try, but usually they give.However, I there still is a chance for them, because when they get to diploma level, they start to get serious, because they have realized that they must now start the fight. If you had started the fight when you were young, you have a high chance.
For some people, it is too late. We must now try to combat this problem.
