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.
