August 13

Hi Class,
Your homework tonight is to research your science fair topic.

Remember, you are doing an experimental design, which means that you are designing a project so that it answers a questions: Examples:

The effects of pH of soil on plant growth (already being done).
OR
Does fingerprint patterns run in families (already being done).

You must have your question and at least 3 sources. You are looking for science fairs projects that have already been done which a similar to yours.
For each of your sources, you must prepare an annotated bibliography.
To do an annotated bibliography, start with the book, magazine, or website and write down the authors name, title of book, publisher, where published, copyright date, and pages info found. Next you will summarize what the experimenter did, and found

Your Science Fair Topic:
"Do dogs react to particular scents"

Example of bibliography.

Brown, Charlie, "Dog's sense of smell", Harper Collins, New York, 2002, 34-39.
In his experiments on dogs sense of smell, Mr. Brown found that dogs salivate when they detected the smell of meat.

2008 August 10, <http://www.snoopy.com/>
In his research, Mr. Schultz tested how his pet Beagle reacted to the smell of ham.

You will hand these in on Monday, so be working on them. If you have questions , come see me on Thursday.
