Year 10 Science assignment - Consumer Chemistry Search strategy Select your topic. Brainstorm and list some key words and phrases that you can use in searching. Decide how you are going to present your information. You will probably need to collect illustrative material [e.g. photocopy pictures and diagrams, save image files from the internet or CD-ROM] as you search for information. There are many sources of information available for this topic. The assessment criteria require you to list at least 3 references in your bibliography. Click here for help on details you need to record in a bibliography, and how to set it out. There is also a print version of this information, and a bibliography record sheet available free [!] at the front counter of the RC. You have to use at least 2 of the following sources to find your 3 references [e.g. 1 book + 1 CD-ROM + 1 Internet site]: Books CD-ROMs Internet sites Books - REFERENCE books: Use Science encyclopedias [R503] and Science Year books [R503 YEA} before you use general encyclopedias like World Book! - use these key words with #3 search on Dynix to find other books....

Because of this, APC websites, such as http://www.ameriplas.org , have dedicated sections to the advancement of education. The Classroom section of the Ameriplas website ( http://www.ameriplas.org/apcorg/classroom/classroom.html ) provides teachers with excellent resources. For instance, "Hands on Plastics" is an educational kit designed for classroom use. The kit is full of background materials, recycled plastic resins, lesson plans, and activities. The kit also gives students the opportunity to see the uses that exist for recycled plastic today.
