Science 9-PROJET DE L'ATOME
Tu devras construire ton propre modèle dans l'espace (3 dimensions) afin de mieux retenir sa configuration atomique (la composition de son noyau-protons et neutrons) ainsi que les couches électroniques successives. 

​Voici quelques sites d'internet qui peuvent t'aider à commencer tes recherches:

​Pour une variété de vidéos à propos du sujet, Les Atomes, visiter le site:  Access Learning.  Ne pas oublier d'écrire 39te pour le nom d'utilisateur et pour le mot de passe, demander à Mme Renzullo ou Mme Edwards. 
Sciences 9-Projet Destination Espace

Comme scientifiques, philosophes et ingénieurs, nous pensons et nous avons décidé que les humains doivent se rendre autre part.  Notre ADN doit voyager autre part pour survivre.  Nous avons beaucoup d'espoir!

Regarde ton affiche avec les détails de ton projet.  Ici, Mme Renzullo a résumé les points généraux.   
1.  Démontre et explique 2 Technologies qui existe déjà qui nous ont aidées à comprendre l'univers et notre système solaire.
2.  Invente une nouvelle technologie qui peut transporter ton ADN.
3.  Montre où ça existe dans notre univers, galaxie ou système solaire.  
4.  Décris au moins 3 corps célestes et explique comment tu vas les éviter ou comment tu vas les utiliser pendant tong voyage.
5.  Écris une petite légende ou fait un dessin pour décrire ton situation.

Des sites web pour commencer...Observer-les pour quelques inspirations.  Bon Voyage!

Human Biology Disease Project - Bio 12 Ms. Edwards

A disease is a condition of the body or part of it in which functions are disturbed or arranged. Diseases may also be defined as a morphological, physiological, psychological disturbance in the body or body parts.  The term disease means DIS-EASE or DISCOMFORT.

Assignment:  To research, interview, and create a performance related to a human illness or disease, in groups of 2/3 people.

Library Resources:

1.  Non-fiction print materials on many diseases are available on the book trolley.   Additional books can be found by
     searching under the Catalog tab after you log into our online catalog.   Use keywords found in the books (including
     the index, etc.) as well as the associated bibliographies, to source additional materials.

2. The VSB databases, available under the Home tab after you log into our online catalog, are another excellent source of 
     information.  Use keywords found in the articles you obtain, as well as the associated bibliographies, to source additional         materials.  Helpful databases may include: 
  • Canada In Context (Gale)
  • Global Issues In Context (Gale)
  • Consumer Health Complete (Gale)   (Try  the "Fact Sheets and Pamphlets" option)
  • EBSCO
  • Science in Context (Gale)
  • Virtual Reference Library (Gale)
  • World Book Advanced

3.  Additional websites that may also assist you include:
 4.  All sources must be cited on your "Works Cited" page.  Use the "all 59 options" tab on the  Easybib website, to generate 
     your citations.  The Easybib website and the Purdue Online Writing Lab also provide excellent information on how to
​     format your research paper and works cited page.

EasyBib


Science News Resources

In the library, we have several hard copy magazines that we subscribe to:

  • Discover Magazine
  • E - The Environmental Magazine
  • Popular Science
  • Science News


You can take out back issues of these magazines or photocopy an article from the current issue.

There are many reliable (i.e. from a respected organization, have bibliographies or are written by know science journalists) online sources of scientific news as well. The following websites would also work well for this project.

  • BBC News - Science & Environment
  • Daily Space and Tech News from National Geographic - Space News
  • Phys.org - PhysOrg provides the latest news and information in the areas of science, physics, technology, nanotechnology, earth science, electronic devices, and medicine. Higher reading level.
  • Science/AASS News - General Science. This online news digest features daily news from ScienceNOW and weekly news articles and features from Science magazine. The site provides free access to daily news articles less than four weeks old; accessing other news content requires a membership or subscription. Articles are searchable by keyword or term.  
  • Science News - General Science. Online version of the magazine
  • Science News from the Guardian Newspaper - General Science.
  • Science News for Kids - General Science. Published by the same organization who publishes Science News. Articles are written for students and provide vocabulary at the end.
  • The Scientist - Online version of the magazine whose focus is the Life Sciences

TOOLS
  • To create your video presentation you can use any software on your home or school computers (such as Movie Maker which is on the computers in the library lab.
  • You can also used Web-based tools such as Screencast-O-Matic (which allows you to create a screencast and save it in MP4 format) or other presentation software such as MovieMaker.  Please do not use a tool that requires you to provide personal information or post your work online. Webcams and microphones are available for in-house library use.)  SAMPLE PRESENTATION 1 and SAMPLE PRESENTATION 2 by Chemistry 12 students from J.O. Secondary.
  • Easy Bib
  • "Works Cited" Guidelines


DATABASES (available under the Home tab after you log into our online catalog) : 
  • Academic Search Premier
  • EBSCO
  •  Student Research Center
  • Greenfile
  • Consumer Health Complete
    TIPS for Searching in Databases
  1. Use the limiters or advanced search functions to narrow your search to articles that were published in the last two years.  These functions can also be used to find peer reviewed articles, magazine articles (i.e. not peer reviewed journal articles), full-text articles, etc.
  2. Use advanced search techniques such as:
  • truncation (*)  [e.g. gene* will find the words gene, genes, genetic, genetics, genetically, etc.]
  • quotation marks for words that must always occur together, e.g. "Huntington's disease"
  • brackets containing key words separated by "or"allow you to search using a wide range of synonyms or related terms e.g. (ocean* or aquat* or sea* or marine)

  • Global Issues in Context  (For a long list of topics, click on the "Environment" category on the home page.  You can also search for the articles on specific topics, e.g. DEFORESTATION.   Another useful strategy is to search for more general topics such as AGRICULTURE or FORESTS and use the sidebars to find information on environmental impacts.)
  • Greenfile (search for local issues, e.g. ["BRITISH COLUMBIA" ENVIRONMENT*]
  • EBSCOHost (Database of magazine and newspaper articles.  Look here for examples of human impact on the B.C. environment.  Some possible searches:
                                           ["environmental degradation" "british columbia"]
                                           [pollut* "british columbia"]
