                 Part C: Select a Topic
Look at the box below that corresponds to your class. There is either a list of topics or a link
to a page which will have a variety of topics for you to choose from. Get approval from your
teacher then type in your topic on your template.
Today's Goal: By the end of the day, the student (or student pair) will have handed in a
typed template demonstrating the following objectives have been met:  

  1. Understanding of the deadlines of this project
  2. Understanding of what the project will become when finished
  3. Demonstrating familiarity with websites that will assist in high school/college, science, and this project
  4. Selecting a topic
  5. Creating an account on NoodleTools to track your research
