Knowledge Questions

Mr Moussay's grandfather says that the fruits on his trees are ripening earlier and earlier in the year and that this must be due to global warming.

Topic: Global warming.

Implicit question about the situation: Does the ripening suggest an increase in global warming?

Open-ended question about knowledge in the context of the real life situation: Why does the increase in Global Warming cause the fruits to ripen?

Open-ended question about knowledge using TOK concepts: How does Mr. Moussay's grand father use his experiances over the past, to come to a conclusion that global warming causes fruits to ripen in a more rapid manner?

  1. Your KQ has to be a general question about knowledge. Move away from the real life situation and make use of TOK concepts in order to achieve this.
