Review of Current Events

One of the great things about science is that it relates to the real world…and Earth Science is no exception. Earth Science covers the following topics:

• Geology
• Natural History
• Oceanography
• Meteorology
• Astronomy

Your task will be to locate and read two (2) current articles relating to each topic and writing a review of each article you read. Your extra credit project should have a cover, table of contents, ten article reviews and an APA reference page.

Please use your own words for all work…copy and pasting from the internet is not allowed. Please use the following format in writing your reviews:

Title of Article
Author

Paragraph 1 – Describe the Science discussed in the article. Must have a Topic sentence, 4-5 body sentence and a conclusion.

Paragraph 2 – Relate the article to what we’ve learned (or will learn) in class. Include your opinion. Again, have a Topic sentence, 4-5 body sentence and a conclusion.

If you “like” the following facebook page there are more than enough current articles to fill the bill:

This should be emailed to me as an attachment BEFORE you take the final exam. Please don’t ask for any other extra credit opportunities because there are none.
