Scientific Paper Report

This semester you have a choice of 3 papers/topic to choose from:

1. The first, "Frequently Asked Questions" from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, is about climate change and global warming.  It has been used in the past and comes with some Report Writing Guidelines.  I would suggest you read those before reading the paper.

The next two reports deal with the availability and use of water in Arizona.  This seemed likely a timely topic considering the severe drought conditions in parts of California and Arizona.

2. The first of these new reports is titled "Layperson's Guide to Arizona Water" and was prepared by the Water Education Foundation and The University of Arizona Water Resources Research Center.

3. The second is titled "Closing the Water Demand-Supply Gap in Arizona" and is also from the University of Arizona Water Resources Research Center. 

I'll be honest I haven't read either report completely and so report writing guidelines are not yet available.  I should be able to have some report writing guidelines available fairly early in the semester.

Reports are due by Mon., Apr. 4 (reports can be turned in early).  Just as is true with the experiment reports, you'll be able to revise your original report once it has been graded and returned to you.

An X in front of your name means I have received your report.

Note: The Scientific Paper is one of the options some students chose rather than writing an experiment report.  If you have done or are working on an experiment you don't need to do the Scientific Paper report.
