I think this badge can reflect the alnalyst because when students are conducting experiments they are forming hypothesis’, observing, collecting data and forming their own conclusions. This provides an alternative way for students to learn instead of just reading an article and filling out a worksheet. This can be used as an informal assessment on previous information that has been covered in class, which can give the teacher a better understanding on where the students are at. This also demonstrates more levels of blooms taxonomy because the students have to explore and create something new.
