Tips/Suggestions
You may copy and paste the scientists names into
Google (or any search engine) to find
information. However, you MUST only select
RELIABLE sites to visit and gather
information. Wikipedia, blogs, and answer sites
(Yahoo Answers, Wiki Answers etc.) are NOT
reliable sources for research. Did you know that
those sites are written by regular people who
dont have to be experts in the subject matter
they are writing about? Even though some of the
information there is correct, much of it is NOT
accurate and therefore it should not be used for
research projects. Biography.com, pbs.org, and
sites with edu in the web address ARE good
sources. Additionally, well-known newspapers
(such as the NY Times) may also be used. Please
be selective when viewing your search results
dont even visit the site if isnt a reliable
source. You may delete this slide from your
finished presentation.
