Research Project Information

• You will need at least three sources for your research project, and one of them must be a book.  The other two are your choice.

•  If you do use a website, you MUST use one of the sites below (or any from the library's website).  If you choose to use a different site, then it must be approved by Mrs. Ring.

• Wikipedia is NOT an acceptable website to use (anyone can edit the information).  Please do not use search engines (Google, Yahoo, Ask Jeeves, etc.) to find your information either--unless you ask Mrs. Ring first. 

Check out these interesting websites below!

http://inventors.about.com/library/bl/bl12.htm  You can search by invention here.

http://www.factmonster.com/ipka/A0004638.html  A good site, but not too much information.

http://smithsonianeducation.org/students/index.html This is the Smithsonian Education site. 

http://spaceplace.nasa.gov/en/kids/    You can search science-related topics from this site by NASA.

http://www.ideafinder.com/ This has some inventor and invention information, but a lot of it is about how to get started on your own invention.

http://web.mit.edu/invent/ This site tells what is new with inventions as well as some history.

http://www.history.com/minisites/toys/ Do you have a topic that is a toy or game?  If so, this is a good site to check out!

**Please remember that any website you wish to use (outside of this list and the list from the library's page) must be approved by Mrs. Ring.**
