Research Paper

In the next few days before PARCC testing begins, students will be starting to learn to write informational papers. They will do a short research project to begin with, and gradually work on longer projects as the unit goes on. Please ask your student what their first research project is about. The books we pulled have some pretty unusual information in them, such as:

  • How water has contributed to diseases
  • The latest development in finding a cure for leukemia
  • How plants can treat sickness
  • How combat medics deal with wartime injuries
  • What type of damage an F5 tornado can cause
  • How sheep survive blizzards
  • The science of making rain
