The question that has been obsessing me, the question that I keep finding myself affronted by, is to do with the cafeteria in the school and walking through the cafeteria line and looking at all the things available for purchase. And every time I walk by, I see the same thing that you see, which is this thing.
All right, what are we looking at?
La fermière yogurt.
So I walk by this thing, and I would say I'm a yogurt consumer. I like to eat a yogurt. And every time I walk by it, I ask myself this question. Why is this the only yogurt in the entire world that comes in a clay pot? Now, there's an asterisk. It's not the only yogurt in the whole world. But it's the only one that I see in my everyday life that comes in a clay pot. None of the other ones do.
So my question is, why?
Anybody have any theories? Come on, be honest. Mario?
Right.
Good. If this were the small question we were starting with, as a small question to start with, what are some things that we could do to try and figure out the answer to this question? Estelle?
Specific reasons for packaging it the way that they do?
Other ideas? Anuj?
Go on their website and see if they have anything about it. Here's why we do this thing. Olivia?
So in other words, if it sells, if it's popular, if it... Okay. I think we're going to stop there. Good job, guys.
And they are my intrepid student volunteers for this particular project.
So we're going to start at the cafeteria.
So I do have one question, though. And everyone has to be honest here. Whose question is this really? Is it your question, David, that you have sent your students off to investigate? Or do you, does either of you have, like, is this... something you're thinking about.
I'm curious how you would answer this.
I would say it was my question in a pedagogical, demonstrative, educationally effective capacity, which was, because when we first had the conversation, it was a couple of months ago, right? And it's a brand new course. It's a little nebulous to them and to me. And so when we were thinking about how you find a research question, you know, big, small, small, big,
I wanted an example that I could be honest and earnest about for how you start with a small question and turn it into something that can be big enough to encompass a research project. So where this thing ends up, where it lands in terms of the various reasons why this thing is, is itself a kind of representative of the sort of process that the kids are going through, right?
They themselves have to reach out.
And this is Romy and Anouk. They are 11th graders who are helping us with this project on yogurt.
