Students, here are some links to consider when doing research related to Science and for the Science Fair. All of these links are also apps on your webdesk inside a folder called: "Library Digital Resources." If you are at home and the link does not let you in, go to your webdesk and find the app. It will authenticate there. The picture of the app is included next to each one below.

Citing Your Sources
It is very important that you give credit to any of your sources so that you don't plagiarize which means stealing or taking credit for someone else's work. For a science project, you want to cite in APA style. Every single one of these resources already gives you a citation for their articles or books. However, if you need to create one from scratch, here are some links online to citation makers, and there are videos explaining how to cite different sources. Every year some citation machines quit working or you have to pay, so that's why we keep adding different ones to try out, but they all work the same way. If you are using Google Docs, there's an even easier way to do this. Follow the instructions on the Google Slides.
