Mercury
- What questions did you need to research in order to create your sway?
- Where is it found?
- How reactive is it?
- How dense is mercury?
- Is mercury toxic?
- Where did it get its name from?
- \What is its freezing point?
2. What new or familiar digital tools did you try to use as you worked through this project?
I used Gale, WorldBook online, Google, and citation machine.
3. What was the process you used to investigate this topic?
I researched as much basic information about mercury as I could and then I narrowed it down and came up with specific questions.
4. How did you verify and cite the information that you found?
When searching up my question, I checked multiple websites to see if they had the same answers. I also tried to avoid websites that weren’t secure, or hadn’t been updated in a long time. I used citation machine to cite my information.
5. How did the process of completing this challenge go? What could you have done better next time?
The process went well I found the answers to most of my questions and it was interesting to learn about the element and I found out a lot of facts about mercury, that I did not know before. In the future, I think I could have come up with more questions and I should have come up with the questions before researching because it would have saved a lot of time.

Great work finding some great sub-questions to lead you to get a well-rounded perspective on your topic. You have done a great job sharing the digital tools you used and citing your sources. Good debrief on your product and process as well!
