How should my research paper look when it is done? (Stapled in this order) Page I-Cover Sheet-5 points 1. The heading is in the upper, right hand corner. 2. A picture or a drawing is in the center of the page. 3. The title of the paper is at the bottom if the page, below the picture, in large bold print. Page 2- The Body-30 points 1. Part 1 a. Where was he born? b. When did he die? c. What kind of education did he have? d. What awards (if any) did he/she receive? e. What kind of scientist was he? Oceanography? Biologist? 2. Part 2 (most important part of your paper) a. What were his achievements? Why was the scientist important? Talk about what he did and explain it. If he studied DNA, the part of your paper should be about what DNA is. Explain what it is and why this discovery was important. If he invented the first airplane, tell us about the airplane. What was it like? How long did if fly the first time. Remember, you are the expert on your scientist. And you are the teacher. Ask for help if you need it. Include Details! 3. Part 3 a.
