Project practice and meal worm work

For the first part of the block this week, I want you to complete your research and begin writing your introduction for the meal worm project.  An introduction for a scientific paper serves to give the reader background information about the content of the experiment.  So, for example, within the introduction portion of your final draft you should have general information about meal worms and their habitat.  It can include pictures or graphics if you think that will enhance the readers understanding.  Also, keep a running list of websites that you found the information and pictures from, as you will have to have a "work cited" or reference page at the end. You will eventually be designing a meal worm habitat, so also within your introduction, you should have information about what your meal worm habitat will look like.  You can bring in items, or I will provide

• a small container
• oatmeal
• bran flakes
• apples
• potatoes
• meal worms

I will provide materials for your table, and you can work together to write the introduction.  This does not mean allow one person at the table to complete it, but actively working together to write it up. This activity should take about 30 minutes.
The remainder of the block is yours to practice for your performance of the first project.  Performances will take place Thursday and Friday of this week.  Everyone should be ready to perform on Thursday, names will be drawn out of a hat to determine who goes first.
