Part 2.

  1. I needed to research what my element contains who discovered it how they did it when they did it where they did it and some other small details.
  2. I used google and some websites.
  3. The process was i finished one question at a time then go back and add if i knew more information about it that i could add.
  4. I verified it by going to multiple websites and seeing if they had the same information.
  5. The process was slow but i got the work done and i gave it 9/10. I don’t really think i could have done better the reason i said 9/10 is because if  i really wanted to then i would spend about 5 hours on it triple checking it and seeing if i put valid information.
