Elemental Infofluency – Science 9

Questions I asked:

  • What is uranium?
  • Who discovered it?
  • How was it discovered?
  • Where is it found?
  • What is it used for?
  • What are it’s physical properties?
  • What does a uranium atom look like?
  • Is it harmful to humans?
  • What are the boiling/melting points?

What digital tools did I use?

I used Google chrome to search up the questions, which is a familiar tool, and then I made sure that I used multiple websites for all the information that I got. To verify, I made sure that every website and source I used was from the official government, a university, a registered organization,  etc. (websites that end in .gov and .org) To put all the information together, I used Sway, which is a new tool for me, because I’ve never used it before this assignment.

The process of completing this assignment wasn’t too challenging. Finding information was easy, because there are a lot of legit websites that are easy to access. The only thing I had a few problems with was figuring out how to use Sway, since it was my first time using it. I had challenges organizing the text and pictures into different slides, but it wasn’t  too bad. Next time, I would like to use something I’m more familiar with, or at least get more used to Sway.
