    Evaluating Science Resources
    In Unit 1 you learned how to determine whether a resource was reliable and reputable and how to best apply such a source of information to your everyday life. To reinforce this skill you will apply this knowledge by researching and evaluating two different resources on one scientific topic. Pick a topic that is related to any field of science such as chemistry physics biology or geology and think of a question that you would like to find an answer to. For example Is global warming causing more earthquakes? Or What is the best treatment for my allergies? Discuss how and why you chose your question.
