Annotated bibliography Topic: divorce in united state of america

Submit an annotated bibliography for your research project. A minimum of three academic/scholarly sources is required. Most of your sources should be reports of qualitative social science research related to your topic. For research reports, your annotations should discuss the purpose, research methodology and major findings of the study. Overall, you should have at least 5 sources.

Physics

For these assignments you need to go to a popular science source and find an article about physical sciences or technology (physics, chemistry, geosciences, meteorology, astronomy; not biology or health). It should be a serious article. You need to read the article and possibly any related source material so that you understand what is being said and what the point of the article is. Then you need to give me approximately a one to two page (around 3-4 paragraphs, double-spaced) summary of the article in Microsoft Word format.

Your summary should include a reference citation for the article and any supplementary articles you may have used to help you understand the content of the article.

This is a set of small projects that will hopefully help you become familiar with numerous popular sources of science, become comfortable with reading and comprehending these sources, and practice at communicating the information gained to your peers. Hopefully by doing this assignment (and encouraging others to do the same) you will help elevate the general scientific literacy of society. And we need it!
