The Fishbone Organizer is a foundational visual tool used to structure open-ended scientific inquiry and rigorous experimental design. This graphic framework guides students in precisely identifying and categorizing all experimental variables—including the Independent (changed), Dependent (measured), and Controlled (constant) variables—while requiring them to specify the necessary Instrument, Unit, and Technique (I.U.T.) for accurate measurement. By visually mapping these essential components, the organizer helps students design fair tests, construct their own custom data collection systems, and cultivate the scientific rigor necessary to progress from general wonder to focused investigation.
