Check with your Science Teacher and follow the assignment outline for gathering, recording and presenting information.  Be sure to reference all websites in the 'sighting' format acceptable at your school.  You may have questions to answer (see the end of this page for a sample), or you may have an outline to use in research, then use the IT facts in your Science project. May the light be with you.
