Overview
For today you will be researching the information you will be placing on your elemental cube.
By now from experiences in your other classes, you should be comfortable with using a computer. Using the internet to research however is a lot more than just Googling something and taking information from anywhere. You must be positive that the information you are receiving is correct, so I will be providing a list of links below that will help you find the information you need for your cube.
Use your research response sheet to write down the information as you find it by looking through the resource websites that are listed below.
If you are found misusing computer lab time or not staying on task, you will be given an alternate assignment.
