Research Report # 1 -approved topics only.
|
5 page typed report on any science related topic, i.e.. biology, chemistry, physics, astronomy, ecology, herpetology, etc. Integrating several areas of science is encouraged. |
|
Use your own words- plagiarism will cause your paper to be rejected. It's okay to use someone's exact words if you quote them, "____________" and cite source. |
Example:
This methodology stands in agreement with Stewart et al. who states, “ A science education should do more than instruct students with respect to the conclusions reached by scientists…science education should encourage students to develop both understandings about science as an intellectual activity and understandings of the products of science” (1992).
|
Report must contain works cited. (follow APA format) Use works cited and references in alphabetical order, examples found on the "writing reports" link. |
Sample entry: Stewart, J., Hafner, R., Johnson, S., & Finkel, E. (1992). Science as model building: computers and high-school genetics. Educational Psychologist, 27(3), 317–336.
|
1 1/2 spacing. Also- Proof read and use spell check prior to printing. |
|
Rubric will be used to grade paper. |
