Resources

Alphabetical Elements List

Here are some other very useful resources you can pick up at the Laurier Virtual Library. 

Before you can access the database list, remember to indicate that you’re in Gr 9-12. Select ALL Resource Types and Science as your SUBJECT. Your results will include databases and external web links that may provide better information than if you simple GOOGLE your element.

Scrolling down to Subject Guides at the bottom of this list and selecting Science and Grade 9 will bring you to resources for your course. Selecting Chemistry: The Nature of Matter will yield some useful results as well.

Citation

For Science assignments, you will be using the APA school of citation. Remember that a Reference list is required.
