Mr Dufty's Rules for Research.

• Don't use Google!! Use the links provided or find a book about muscle - use your muscles to lift the book up!
• Make your presentation fun BUT full of information!
• Don't copy what you find - write in your own words! This is stealing!!
• One page only - so PLAN before you put it in your book!!!!
• Get Mum or Dad to check that you have answered all the questions. Ask them for some help as they will know lots of stuff!

Set yourself the goal of trying to say all 20 today and then everyday after that. See what happens if you do. Remember it only counts if you mean it!!
