Earth Science Honors Enrichment (Optional) - posted Mar. 15

I hope you're all staying safe.

Some of you asked for an Enrichment assignment while school is closed:

Read a science current event article from Science News, NY Times, Scientific American, etc.
The link to Science News follows:  https://www.sciencenews.org/ (you may find the series of corona virus articles interesting.)

Please write your responses in full sentences and attach a link to article.

1. From which publication did you get your article?
2. What is the title of your article?
3. Who is the author of your article?
4. What area of science does the article address?
5. Write a summary of the article in paragraph form.  Be sure to include the following:
    a) Who (is involved)?
    b) What (does the article discuss)?
    c) Where (is this situation occurring)?
    d) When (has this occurred or will occur)?
    e) Why (is this of importance to us)?
6. What is your opinion/reaction to this event?
7. What is something new you learned from the article?

You may do several of these and submit these enrichment assignments to me via email:  ocrnosija@smithtown.k12.ny.us
