Your paper should discuss a topic of science of your choosing. YOU MUST INCLUDE SCIENTIFIC STUDIES! At least one of your sources MUST discuss a scientific study that has been done on your topic. Your other sources may include CREDIBLE general scientific information on your topic.
Outline of paper:
Your paper should include the following parts to make a cohesive research paper; remember to transition between all of these parts, not just jump from one thing to the next:
Introduction: What will you be writing about? Why is it important? How does this scientific idea relate back to your life? Take a thesis or position on your chosen topic. Find a “theme.” You will introduce what area of science you are discussing, and introduce the scientific study.
Body: Here you will describe the scientific study. Include:
Problem/Observation
include independent/dependent variable
Hypothesis
Methods used to test the hypothesis
Results and discussion
Conclusion: This should summarize what you discussed in your paper. We want to relate our results back to our thesis to form a scientific conclusion. Restate your thesis and the main support and have a concluding statement.
My topic is stars, what they are made of.
