Unit 1 Reflection - Effective Retrieval of Scientific Research Using Online Tools
Return to Unit 1 Homepage
Purpose of Reflection
This reflection will help you consolidate your learning from Lesson 1 (Introduction to Research and Search Tools) and Lesson 2 (Viewing Research Articles). It encourages you to think critically about the skills and strategies you’ve developed and how they can be applied in your own research. Unit Reflections do not have to be turned in. These are for you to reflect on each unit.

What challenges did you encounter when using different search tools, and how did you address them?
- Primary and Secondary Sources:
What insights did you gain about the relationship between primary and secondary science sources?
What challenges did you encounter when analyzing primary and secondary sources, and how did you address them?

What skills or concepts would you like to continue developing to improve your research practices?
Write a response to one or more of the prompts above. Consider specific examples from your experiences in the activities to illustrate your points.
