Natural Mosquito Strategy Inquiry Board
by Eric Gonzalez-Payne

Claims go on the board. Then students design tests for the ones that can be tested.
Some can. Whether crushing lemongrass reduces landings in a defined area over a defined time is testable with volunteers and patience. Others cannot be tested at school and should be marked as such rather than guessed at.
The page has the board structure, a testability filter, design guidance and a results section. Sorting claims into testable and not testable is the first move and it is a genuinely useful habit that applies far beyond mosquitoes.
