Using the information supplied in class, find a peer reviewed research journal experiment that relates to your science fair experiment.  Cite this in APA format and include a brief (5-10 sentences) description of the research and how it relates to your topic.  As noted in class, good places to search for research include:

http://udlibsearch.lib.udel.edu/highschools/ – you were given a home access password on the bookmark

http://scholar.google.com/ – Google Scholar will give you lots of results but not all are available to view for free

http://www.plos.org/ – Public Library of Science is completely free but limited to certain topics

http://citationmachine.net/ – one place on the internet to create citations in various formats

Your group will design its own infomercial for a product of your choice. The product may already exist or you may invent your own. The infomercial and product must be rated for television, so keep it clean! This assignment is an opportunity for you to practice your terminology so you will remember it better. Therefore the infomercial must contain at least 35 terminology words. These words may already exist or you may combine your own prefixes, word roots and suffixes to make up your own words. You can also use body regions, body planes, body structures etc…  These words should flow throughout the presentation, not be clumped into one part. Additionally, you should follow these rules:

  • Presentation is 8-12 minutes. You will be penalized if you go under 8 minutes or over 12 minutes (even by 1 second!) – television time is precious and adhered to strictly – the tv station would cut you off.
  • Your group must type the final script and hand it in before your presentation. Each terminology term should be in bold and underlined.
  • You must memorize your parts – you may not have your script in front of you.
  • A group member may hold up cue cards ‘off camera’ but they must also participate on camera>
  • Everyone must participate!
  • You should accentuate each term when you use it in your skit.
  • Optional – you may videotape it ahead of time **
  • You should be excited about your product – I should wonder how I ever lived without it!

** = I have higher expectations for pre-taped versions!

As a group you will research job listings for your assigned job title as well as find two more job listings for any 2 ’specialist’ we talked about in class and any 1 other job listing you find interesting. For each you will write down the educations requirements, other qualifications, salary and any other pertinent or interesting information. The assigned people are:

911 dispatcher
police officer
coroner/medical examiner
criminalist/csi

plus any two other specialists or forensic positions not listed above. (DA, detective, anything else you find)

For the specialists, try to find a ‘forensic’ version (forensic anthropologist).  If you can not then just use a ‘regular’ version.  Lastly, find one other related job that you may have come across during your research.  In the end you should have a total of 4 job listings.
