- Questions I needed to research:
- Who/when/how was platinum discovered?
- What are interesting facts about platinum?
- What is the melting point and boiling point of platinum?
- What is platinum used for?
- What is platinum’s periodic table information?
- Digital tools I used:
- Citation Machine
- Gale Engage
- Pexels
- The process and how I verified and cited my information:
I researched questions and went on websites to find information about my element. I then put all the information I collected into my own words and made sure to keep track of all the websites I used so then I could cite them. I found pictures off Sway using the image search and Pexels, but for pictures that I found online, I made sure to cite all my sources.
- The process of completing this project and what I could have done better:
After doing this project I have learned a new way to finding reliable websites and images using the gale engage. I also learned that it is important to cite all images and sources that are used and knowing that I can get pictures that are free to use on Pexels, I will definitely be using it again for future schoolwork. Something that I could improve on is adding a bit more details into my content.
Excellent information fluency post. I really like how you have found 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!
