Read the spec and summarise the ‘Range’ you have to cover i.e. type of and how much content. Draw a rough plan, of what you are going to produce and how; include chapter titles and sub- titles. Look at the information which is ‘close’ to you, eg. Fronter, text books. Use this info. to direct your research in other areas; i.e. internet. As you begin research, start your Bibliography, NOW. Include where you are going to go for information: Don’t just use the internet; more contemporary sources would be journals, new scientist, news sites, universities. Why not find someone to email to get the most up to date work and research?
Include timings; what are you going to finish and by
when? Be realistic about what you can achieve You must use detail and scientific facts, not just waffle!! If you quote people or books in your project you must reference their names: Jones, (1997) said……. Or ‘The Ozone layer has reduced in it’s coverage by 20% over the last 20 years,’(Jones, 1997).
Then put the full reference in the Bibliography:
Smith, (2002). Green Industrial Chemistry, Oxford University Press. And use diagrams…….
