AVOIDING PLAGIARISM
AVOIDING PLAGIARISM
Writing an essay or presentation? How do I make sure to avoid plagiarism?
WHAT IS PLAGIARISM? This is any time that you use someone else's words, pictures, graphics, data and claim them as your own by either failing to quote or cite the information properly.
HERE is a LOOM video that I made to try and assist with this idea more clearly.
Here are some valuable ideas to think about before submitting:
Is what you are writing entirely your own thoughts and words?
Could you write the paper/essay/presentation "with your eyes closed"?
Did you use or need to research other sources? REMEMBER this is a good skill to have and I highly encourage using your resources
Follow THIS really helpful flowchart guide from Purdue Owl Resources
When in doubt...CITE (at a minimum, you need to provide the website source, but MLA is great practice)
There are lots of great citation tools: Purdue OWL, EasyBib, CitationMachine

Unit 1 Lesson 1 - Asking About Life
Unit 1 Lesson 1 - Asking About Life
For this essay you are asked to write a scientific question (problem question) about a concept in Biology.
Important things to remember about a scientific question:
Is it about Biology?
Does the question make sense (clear)? Is it specific to an idea/topic?
Does the question get to the point (concise) ?
Is it testable? Does it need an experiment to answer it (ie not a yes or no question or a basic research idea)?
Unit 1 Lesson 4 - Reading Like a Scientist
Unit 1 Lesson 4 - Reading Like a Scientist
For this essay you are asked to consider something that you have seen (heard is ok too) advertised . This can be anything from a cleaning product or make-up, to food or drinks to supplements etc.
Important things to remember about a scientific question:
What is the product (be specific)?
What is the claim - what can this product do?
Does other research support this claim? Are there factual sources that you found that do actual experiments or investigations?
How would you classify this product information:
Factual
Fictional
Promotional

Create your DNA review Jamboard to make sure you are comfortable identifying the parts and functions of DNA.
Share your jamboard with me and we can go over and review the major concepts together.

Are you having difficulty viewing the image and the key? Did you know you could right click and open both in a new window? If you would prefer to see both the key and the images at the same time, I made a Google Slide of the two images that will allow you to see both images larger together.
Do you still need more help on how to read and use the dichotomous key? HERE is a LOOM video I made using this google slide.
