Project Citizen Research Collaboration Sheets

In an effort to encourage collaboration on Project Citizen research, I have created Google Sheets for 1st and 6th period, so that you as students can share links to important research that you have discovered.  If you find a website that contains great information about your research, click the link below and write the name of the website, copy and paste its URL, and write any notes you feel might be helpful.  You will need to be signed in to your apastudents.org account.  Please email Mr. Scott Stone if you have any questions about the apastudents.org account or if you need your password reset.  His email address is sstone@apamail.org.
