Mr. Mutter- 8th gr.- The Science in Science Fiction


Students will select a science fiction novel from a pre-approved list. They will then conduct research and prepare a paper that separates science fiction from current science and examines the possibility for the future based on science trends. Ideas in the paper must be supported by scientific data and a minimum of 5 resources (including at least 2 book/periodical resources) must be cited.

Ms. Hatcher (LMS) will be working with the students on work citation and research sources throughout the project.
