Article Review Assignment

Article Review.

I can not stress enough- the topic of the project is SCIENCE IN THE NEWS!
You should choose an article that is science related, and write a review of your article.
Your review should include a brief summary of the articles content as well as the details of the article, who wrote it, what paper it was published in on which day.

You should also include a brief discussion on the SCIENCE topics covered in the article, first what the issue is, second what the author is saying about the issue and third what you think about the issue. You may need to do a bit of research about the topic so you can inform yourself around the issue. If for example the article is about chemical testing, you should know what chemicals and how they are testing.

I would like you to also include at the end of your paper, a SCIENCE TERMS section. Where you outline the different scientific terms used in the article and what they mean. For example:

Fermentation- Alcohol fermentation is the formation of alcohol from sugar. Yeast, when under anaerobic conditions, convert glucose to pyruvic acid via the glycolysis pathways, then go one step farther, converting pyruvic acid into ethanol. (http://www.emc.maricopa.edu/faculty/farabee/BIOBK/BioBookGlyc.html) In the case of home wine making, sugar in the form of juice is fermented into wine.
