Some review of concepts from last day/Science project aims/please see last post too.

Hello 9s,

You have been working well on refining your research questions as you delve deeper into your research.

  • We have reviewed your citations for this research.
  • You have worked on paraphrasing/summary to make the research your own/avoid plagiarism.
  •  You have begun to prepare/plan/ask questions regarding how best to represent your research.
  • What follows here are some additional resources for representing data depending upon what it is you are trying to express.

Also, some of you asked to see the aims/rubric of the Science project. Ms. K has sent me the following as well as a requirement that you not use a power point for your project. One exception may be if you want to represent something that needs movement/sound together with your poster/
tri-fold presentation.

Remember that you may include 3 D items (books, models, demonstrations) as part of your visual explanations of your research.


Sustainability Project – Checklist
