Research is research. Science, art, music, English, history - you can research any and all of these, mostly with the same methods. The tools might change from subject to subject, but the approach is still the same. Sing along if you know the words:
1) Make a list of search terms
2) Use the terms to search high-quality databases such as EBSCO and Questia
3) Save books and articles into a folder
4) Read, take notes, and write
5) Create a bibliography of sources or Works Cited page
So, if you're struggling with that science essay, take heart! You don't have to paddle your canoe all over the vast ocean of the Internet - try a library database instead. You're a trained researcher now - apply those skills and win that prize!
