SCIENCE SUMMARIES

This is your opportunity to explore areas in science, health and


technology that you really find interesting.

1. READ/WATCH/LISTEN to a magazine, newspaper or Internet


article/video that relates to science, technology or health.
2. Write about it!

Summaries are to be:


1. At least three paragraphs in length, and at least twenty total
sentences. Sentences must be complete and in detail, for
example, the following would not count as good sentence structure: Science is fun. This article
was good.
2. Must be typed, not handwritten, and shared with me electronically through Google Classroom.

Before you start, include the following:


1) Name, hour, and date in upper right hand corner
2) Title (create your own original title, dont copy article title)

Questions to guide the summary:


Paragraphs 1 & 2: time to summarize
*What are the main ideas of the article?
Paragraph 3: relate and give opinions
*How does this topic relate to you and your life?
*How does it relate to science, health or technology?
*What did you like or dislike? Would you recommend it? Why?
Bibliography: give the source information at the end of your summary
Find the author information and use Easybib.com to complete your bibliography
*What is the name of the program, book or article?
*Who is the author? When was it published? Step 2: Fill in author/article info
*If the article does not have an author, you must cite the
website or article publisher.

Step 1: Paste in your article URL

PLAGIARISM (AKA Coping and Pasting)


Even though this is not your Reading or Language class you need to check your summary for neatness,
spelling, and grammar. Use your own words and never copy and paste. Doing this will result a zero grade
and an office referral.
