We will be starting a research project on a Grade 6 Science topic! This could be about "Sky Science" or "Trees and Forests" on a range of different research questions. Perhaps you choose a specific planet to explore, or a question you have about how trees survive in their regions.
Watch the video to look at how to narrow down a research topic.
Record the Topic of your research in the notes on Google Classroom.
Brainstorm possible research questions.
(For today, you may choose to record for a couple topics to narrow down later. Or you may just KNOW what one topic you want to work on.)
Watch the video today on gathering and collecting information online.
After, go to Google Classroom and begin to gather information relating to your topic.

Join us for a Google Meet on citations.
After, go to Google Classroom and continue working on your research paper. You may want to take the time now to cite all the sources you have found so far.
Today is a work day for your research paper on Google. You should be starting to think about finishing up the sections of your writing today.
You will have some time next week to work on it as well before it is due.
Our final Research Presentation day!
