Elemental Infofluency- Radium

Part 2: 

Ask: The Questions I Needed to Ask Were: 

  • What are the effects of exposure overtime? 
  • How much does it sell for? 
  • How rare is it? 
  • How does it affect humans without our knowledge? (Amount in air, water, etc.) 
  • Is there a living thing that has built some sort of immunity to radiation? 
  • What is it? 
  • Who discovered it? 
  • What are some common uses? 

Acquire: Here are the Tools I used to gather my information: 

  • Google 
  • Pexels.com 
  • Gale Engage Learning 
  • EasyBib 

Analyze: Here is how I got my information and cited my sources: 

To keep track of all the information I acquired, I used a separate word document to keep it all organized before I made my sway. I used a variety of reliable sources to get as much useful information on my element, while keeping it in my own words. I cited all my sources with EasyBib, and found non-copyright images to cite as well. 

Assess: This is how the product and process went. 

I am satisfied with how much information I was able to share about most of my questions, I do wish I added a bit more information to a few, but the question was able to be answered in a sentence or two. On the topic of the Information Fluency Process, I did everything that I could have, I asked good questions, acquired good information, and filtered out the good sources from the bad. Looking back, I do wish I used even more sources (instead of mostly google) to expand my digital toolbox of sources to use later in my high school career.
