Collecting Case Studies

Today in class each group will need to have summarized 3 case studies and obtained an image for as well as a reference each study. THE SUMMARIES SHOULD BE IN YOUR OWN WORDS, WHICH MEANS YOU NEED TO READ THE ARTICLE AND NOT COPY AND PASTE IT INTO A WORD DOC. A great place to look for this information is at www.sciencedaily.com

See the example below:
If I were doing a project on water, here is a possible case study I could include:

Title: What can be done about the pollution in the Ganges River?











The Ganges River is used for everything from transportation to water for cows to washing. The river contains untreated sewage and cremated remains, among other things. The multi use of this river has the potential to harbor and be a breeding ground for hundreds of new pathogens. However there is hope for keeping those individuals who use the river safe from diseases; "Montana State University research about pollution in the Ganges River has reached the Supreme Court of India, producing some optimism among MSU scientists who study the 1,500-mile river."1

Homework: Each group should have 10 stats that relate to their topic. These stats should come from at least 3 different sources.
