Random Science Question Summary Example
Your Random Science Question summary must include the following things:
- One sentence that answers your question
- A definition for any key terms in your explanation
- An explanation of why this happens
- Any interesting facts about your topic
- A question you still have about your topic.
Let's say you were researching the question: How do plants know which way to grow?
Here is an example of a summary that answers this question. The parts of the summary are color-coded to match the parts your summary must include.
Plants know which way to grow because of a phenomenon called gravitropism. Gravitropism is when plants respond to the force of gravity. Scientists theorize that plant cells have a specialized part that can detect gravity. This part in the cell floats in cytoplasm. When gravity pulls on the cell part it moves down. This lets plants detect which way is up and which way is down. Plants can also grow towards the direction of light even if this means going against the force of gravity. After researching this topic I wonder how plants are able to detect where light is located and how they can grow towards it.
