The Co-op Composition class overlaps with the Co-op Biology class. I spent most of today’s class working in ideas for research projects. The kids are writing their null and alternative hypotheses this week. There is a tremendous amount of writing in a research project. Here is my overview slide deck. My kids are researching diet and chicken eggs, surface temperature, and soils. I sent some protocols for experiments to the kids. For example, one team is using a GLOBE field campaign: Urban Heat Island Effect. I lent the team an IR thermometer and an oven glove. I sent soil tests and GLOBE Pedisphere information to another student. Teens should keep a spreadsheet with citations. Initially, kids should copy the website addresses into a spreadsheet. Later, we’ll review how to use MLA to cite web pages correctly. If you want a crash course in waiting, start a research project!
