Synthesis Questions
Synthesis is the ability to put parts together to form a new whole.
Synthesis answers will require classification of things, learners are encouraged to 
give answers from a personal approach and it introduces creativity in essay writing 
and research reports.
Synthesis questions do not have a single correct answer.
The “stem” of a synthesis question would be.
•  How can you solve…
•  How can you improve no this experiment...
•  What will happen if the micro-organisms are removed from an ecosys-
tem?
•  What do you predict would happen if pollution occurs in the Nile river
