Summary: This week we worked on a project that has to do with natural disasters and the disaster we have researched on so far are wild fires, thunderstorms, hurricanes, and another that I forgot. We are researching natural disasters for the actual project we are doing and whatever we put on the paper is our research we use for the project. For example we put where the natural disaster happens, how it occurs, which natural disaster it is, and the description of it. We use one computer per team and while one person uses the computer for research the other person rights down the data on the paper. One thing I know so far for researching on where natural disasters happen is that most of them happen in Florida.
SP8: Obtain, evaluate and communicate information
Science cannot advance if scientists are unable to communicate their findings clearly and persuasively or learn about the findings of others. A major practice of science is thus to communicate ideas and the results of inquiry—orally; in writing; with the use of tables, diagrams, graphs and equations; and by engaging in extended discussions with peers. Science requires the ability to derive meaning from scientific texts such as papers, the internet, symposia, or lectures to evaluate the scientific validity of the information thus acquired and to integrate that information into proposed explanations.
Did you research something, used the CITE-IT strategy and then “told” the class about it?
We researched information and cited some of the websites.
