Wow! There is some excellent writing and information from your last blog. I am so impressed with the quality of questions that you generated and with the research that you did. Your new assignment is to 1) visit three other blogs, 2) read the writer's information from the last post (the one due Jan 29), and then, 3) write your own post about what you learned. The format for your post is:
three short paragraphs, one for each blog you visited
in each paragraph, mention the topic and name of researcher, and cite two interesting things you learned in your classmate's blog.
Finally, leave a comment for each writer in the blogs you visited. Your comment should be something intelligent about the topic - a thought or contribution from you about the topic. Also, a constructive comment about the quality of your classmate's overall research. (If it's good, tell them why. if it's not good, make a constructive suggestion about ways to improve.)
Have fun. You'll be impressed with what's being researched and written. No surprise there.
Your new post and comments need to be completed by this Thursday, Feb. 14 at noon EST.

Ready to Go
Okay, chem bloggers. We're going to begin the work of the research activity, so pay attention to the specific details for this assignment.
1) You have a topic. Now, think of a question related to your topic that you want to answer. Try to pick a question that you're really curious about AND that you think others would be interested in. Post the question as the Title of your new post.
2) Spend some time using your resources (you already have links to these in your blog) or finding new resources that answer your question. Compose one or two paragraphs that contain not only the answer to the question, but some "explanation" for novices - make sure all your terms are defined and that you explain concepts so that someone not familiar with your topic can understand.
3) Compose a final paragraph that describes why a knowledge of chemistry is important to understanding the question/answer that you have posed or what specific chemistry is involved with the topic/question/answer/investigation being explored. In simplest - tie all your research and information to the importance of chemistry. (That is, after all, our LIFE)
4) Write complete MLA citations for three of the sources that you used for your research.
This post is to be completed by Tuesday, Jan. 29, 9:00AM.
