Science Research 1 - Researching an Important Scientist

Developing Effective Research Skills

How do you begin research?

There are good habits to develop when beginning a research project. The first is to decide what it is you want or need to know.
Here is your project:

You will research a scientist of your choice. There are 2 parts to this project.
Part One::: 3-5 page research paper
cover page with a creative title(name, teacher's name, class, date due
and reference section)
*** 2-3 credible references are required

Part Two::: Power Point Presentation/ 5-8minute oral presentation on your
chosen scientist

To begin this project you need to choose a scientist you would like to know more about.
One place to begin is using a search engine and searching the scientist using his or her name.
Search by first then last name and then switch it.
Does this change the information you receive?
Try using your scientist of choice's name then adding a (+) and attaching the contribution they made or the type of science they study(ied)
Ex.: Jonas Salk+vaccinations

When using an internet source, it is important to review whether the source is "good"
Please follow the link at the top of the blog on the right to review an individual source to see if it fits the criteria of an acceptable source.

Databases are a great place to search for information because all the sources compiled in a database are "good"!!!! This will make your research easier.
The following links are to databases that might contain information suitable for this project:
