Farcebook Pages and a Digital Timeline

As a takeoff of a "facebook" page, each person is creating a "farcebook" page to share information learned about a scientist. This particular project gets at the steps of research: collecting articles, forming questions to guide research (as a class, we brainstormed information we thought was important to share with others about the scientists). This information included: scientist birthplace and date, death and any other fact regarding death, family and interesting information about family, intriguing fact about childhood, intriguing fact about scientist's life, major accomplishment(s) to science, how scientist made the world a better place and defining important vocabulary related scientist. Once all of this information is gathered from at least two references, information will be written on a farcebook template page. Pictures and at least one quote will also be included. A second piece to studying the life of a scientist is to create a digital timeline. Each person will choose a photograph that represents the scientist study. Also included will be the date  of the scientist's major contribution and a piece of writing. This timeline will be web-based, so can be accessed for all to view once we are finished.
