Introduction to Earth Science- Summary

Today you will summarize either Section 1 or Section 2 of our first Earth Science chapter. You will be working within Microsoft Word and using images and text to complete your summary.

For each section I would like you to include:

• ·         The title of your section at the top using Word Art (under the “insert” tab)

• ·         The main vocabulary presented in your chapter, heading in Word Art, explanation in regular, legible font

• ·         An image as an example of each idea

• ·         Your name (first name, last initial) at the bottom of your project

Your project should be no more than two pages and have some artistic effort put into it.

Here is what you should include:

Section 1: What is Earth Science?
