=ACTIVITY= You are going to create some Science stories which are in the news right now and follow them as they develop.
 * Choose a story that is happening now and which has a Science connection.
 * Read the story (if possible on more than one site) and then summarise the main points. Make a note of the sources.
 * Collect some photos illustrating the story.
 * Make sure you understand the Science in the story.
 * Write up the story on the wiki (your teacher will create a page for you to work on).

Your story should include:
 * A clear explanation **in your own words** about the Science story
 * Photos and diagrams where necessary
 * EXTERNAL LINKS: Links to any interesting websites which may give the reader more information
 * REFERENCES: The books, magazines, websites where you got your information

INTEREST: Did you find out something you didn't know? PRESENTATION: How does it look? SCIENCE CONTENT: Was some Science explained and did you understand it? When we are assessing the stories, you can go to the Discussion tab, put the marks eg 5-3-4 in the title of the comment and then add a constructive comment.
