Research

Once you select your project idea, you need to research! This can be a lot of fun!

List topics that relate to your project.

For instance, if you are doing a project with anything to do with a motor, you might want to research:

Motors - what are they? How do they work?
electric engines - what are they? How do they work?
Who studied motors and what did they discover, find out, create, design, etc.
What do motors do for people?
How do motors run?


If you are studying anything to do with plants, you may want to research:

What is a plant?
What do plants need to survive?
How do plants acquire their nutrients?
How does water travel through the plant?
What role does water play in the growth of the plant? light? soil?
Who has studies plants? What did they find out?

You should use at least 3 resources. Using 5 resources or more would be best.

When you use a resource, write down the name of the book, author, copyright date, page #, publisher,
web address, web page title, date and time accessed, author/creator - or enough information so that you can locate the resource later to document it in your bibliography
