In your first post, introduce yourself to your instructor and peers. Share who you are, where youre from, and what your goals are for taking this course. Then, search Science Daily for a news story about a natural science topic thats less than six months old. Make sure to choose a story that interests you, because youll use this news story for all the projects in this course. Once youve chosen a news story, summarize the main ideas from the article. Then, draft two questions that a natural scientist might ask about the topic. Include both the summary and the two questions in your initial post. As you write your questions, think about what youve learned about the natural sciences and scientific thinking in the module overview. For instance, if you chose an article on volcanic eruptions, you might ask: what causes eruptions to happen and how do we predict when theyll occur? Make sure to include the news story title and a link to it in your post. After that, reply to two of your peers initial posts. When responding, discuss how their questions relate to the natural sciences. Share how you could clarify your post based on what you learned from reading theirs. When replying to your peers, your tone and language should be respectful, and your feedback should be constructive. This means that your comments should focus on the positive parts of their post and how the ideas might be strengthened.
