Search for a science article from the Elsevier Science Direct research database at the Hunt Library (or any library) using the ScienceDirect tutorial.
For search terms, use any environmental topic that interests you. You may use your textbook glossary as a guide if you choose. It is entirely likely that your first few searches will yield a large number of titles at first, but it will be up to you to narrow it down to one article to review.
When you have found an article that interests you, download the PDF, and read the entire article. NOTE: Science articles can be very intimidating to read for those who are not scientists. They may contain a great number of unfamiliar terms, long mathematical equations, and advanced concepts that require higher-level education to fully understand. You are not required to completely analyze the data, concepts, or equations while reading the article. However, you must get a basic understanding of what the article is about, what the researchers were studying, their methods, and what their results and conclusions were.
After reading the article, write a 1 to 2 page short paper essay (text only, double-spaced) that summarizes the contents of the article. Your summary must (A) be in your own words, (B) not include any pictures, and (C) be written to APA standards with a cover page and a works cited page (NOT included in the page count). WARNING: Do not simply reproduce the article abstract.
