    Tips for Science Project Research

    1.  Choose sources with AUTHORITY (sources written by experts in their field).  

    Most sources in the library are written by experts.   

    2.  Use Destiny to search for library materials.

    3.  Always CITE (give credit to) your sources.  For help citing sources go to the bottom of this page.

    4.  Copy ideas in your notes, NOT the complete sentences from the information source.  

    Later you can make your own sentences from the ideas you gathered.

    See Mrs. Raysin for help finding information on your topic.

    Happy Researching!
