Read noni’s research question about the history of the airplane. what did the wright brothers use to make their first powered airplane? noni is trying to make her question more complex. which is the best revision? -what was the wright brothers’ first powered airplane made of? -would the wright brothers’ first powered airplane have been successful if they had chosen other materials? -what materials did the wright brothers use to build their first powered airplane?

-Would the Wright brothers’ first powered airplane have been successful if they had chosen other materials? 

This is the best revision of the research question because it provides an avenue for exploration rather than just asking a simple question that can be answered in a single sentence. Included in this question would be the answer to her first question, because you cannot determine if other materials would have been better unless you know the materials that were actually used, but it also allows for interpretation and in depth analysis too.
