Today’s Classes
Period 2 & 3- Ms. Bulloch’s SBI3C1 Classes
You’re coming in to continue your research on Bacteria. Not the fun kind though, from yogurt commercials. The nasty ones. The Pathogens….
Researching these topics should be straight-forward, but let me tell you how I’d tackle it.
Tip One: The Wikipedia Hack https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page Sure, you’re Grade 8 teacher probably told you that Wikipedia is bad. That nasty Wikipedia would try to fool you with fake news, right? Well, not so fast. While it’s not a great source to put ON an assignment, the good people at Wikipedia have to show their resources, and mining the Wikipedia Reference page is an excellent way to find valuable sources about your topic!

Tip Two: Library Databases https://www.tdsb.on.ca/library/HOME/Find/schoolNo/4166 The TDSB and the Ministry of Education have spent a great deal of money on amazing research databases for students just like you! We’ll talk about some of those when you’re in.
Tip Three: The CDC – Centre for Disease Control https://www.cdc.gov/DiseasesConditions/ The American CDC has amazing resources on the pathogens you’re looking to research. It’s a must-use as I see it.
