specifically for science, you will pick an article that outlines research being done. After selecting an issue, you will conduct a research investigation, identifying appropriate resources for researching the issue, developing a question related to the issue, and applying principles of biology to your issue and question. You will submit a 2-3 page paper explaining the research, methods used, data, and results.

The following elements must be addressed:

I. Introduction: In this section, you will discuss your issue and select resources that you can use to research the issue. This will lead you to the development of a research question related to your issue.

Specifically, you should:

Describe the issue that you have selected to investigate. Why is this issue significant?

Describe at least three scientific resources that you could use to investigate the issue you selected. Your sources must be relevant to your issue and must be of an academic nature appropriate for the issue. Remember to use the University’s Library http://www.wilmu.edu/library/index.asp

and Student Success Center http://www.wilmu.edu/ssc/index.aspx

to help you with this. In your description, consider questions such as:

What are the similarities and differences in the content of your sources?

What makes them appropriate and relevant for investigating your issue?

What was your thought process when you were searching for sources? Why did you choose the articles you chose?

Based on your review of science resources, develop a specific question related to the issue you selected. In other words, what would you like to know more about?

II. Body: In this section, you will use the resources that you selected to investigate your question, focusing on the scientific principles related to the issue. Make sure to cite your sources.

This week you will submit a topic AND question of your choosing to research. It must be based in biological research.
