Your initial post (response) will contain three parts which are explained below. Please be sure to number each part in your post.
1) Go to the website “Science in the Classroom” and pull up the article “Plastic for dinner” (opens in new window). For this assignment, you will focus only on the introduction and methods (these can be found in the “report” section – some of the methods are found at the end of the article).
• On the left side of the website, you will see a gray box titled “learning lens.” Click on the yellow box beside “glossary” (a check will appear). This will highlight specific terms in yellow.
• List and define FIVE terms you struggled with that are highlighted in the report (there are many more than five terms highlighted – you get to pick five).
2) Read the the introduction for this article (this is the first section in Reports).
• What were three things that you learned in this introduction?
• What is the question the scientist is hoping to answer with this experiment?
3) On the left side of the website, you will see a gray box titled “learning lens.” Click on the blue box beside “author’s experiments” (a check will appear). This will highlight the methods of the report. Read through these. If you have trouble understanding any of these highlighted methods, hover over it with your mouse to get more information.
• In your own words, summarize the methods (what is the experiment?). If you are struggling understanding any of this information, please reach out to me. Your summary needs to be at least 100 words in length.
