Whats the answer to my questions for my research
report?
I dont have the reference books at my house.
10
I heard about some Online Databases at school. I
think I picked up an information sheet in the
Media Center. Let me go on the Net and try one
of the addresses out.
11
My science report is due next week. I need to
answer some questions about wetlands. I need
some basic information and also information about
Marylands wetlands. I will try the Groliers
site because the encyclopedias are there and the
Book of Popular Science could be a big help.
12
To find information about Marylands wetlands I
will need articles from current magazines. SIRS
should be a big help to find those articles. I
will do an advanced search using wetlands and
Maryland.
