1. List the standard for Mini-Research eBook Lessons from the GPS (K-5th) or Bright Start Standards (Pre-K) .
(Example: SKP3 Students will observe and communicate effects of gravity on objects.
a. Recognize that some things, such as airplanes and birds, are in the sky, but return to earth.
b. Recognize that the sun, moon, and stars are in the sky, but don’t come down.)



2. List the Primary Learning Outcome (PLO) for your selected standard.  The PLO should be the observable concept or measuable skill the student will demonstrate as an outcome of participation in this lesson.
(Example: Student will name two things in the sky that return to earth and two things in the sky that do not return to earth.  Student will identify gravity as the cause for objects that return to earth. )



3. List information that your students will need, so they will be able to gain the knowledge needed to achieve your GPS or Bright Start Standard and your PLO.  The information from this question will guide you in question 4 below.
(Example: Students will need information about things in the sky that return to earth and about things in the sky that do not return to earth. Student will also need basic information about gravity as the cause for objects that return to earth. )



4. Describe three educational websites that you will need to find on the Internet to provide the information that you listed in question 3.  Also list the content information that you will provide on the content pages of you Mini-Research Lesson.  Be sure that you have included all of the information that you listed in your question 3 in the description of your educational websites below.

I. The first content information page:
     a. Describe the first educational website that you hope to find and what information would be on that website for you students to gain knowledge for your standard. (Example: I would search for a website that provided information about some things in the sky that return to earth.)

     b. Describe the information that you plan to write on the first content page that would give you students information for their standard and will go with the educational website that you hope to find.  (Example: I would write about things that are in the sky and return to earth, such as birds, airplanes, balls, and kites; and I would also introduce and write about the information on the linking website.)

     c. Describe the two or more pictures that you hope to find for your first content page to go with you first educational website and with the content information that you are going to write.  Example: I would put pictures on this page of things that are in the sky and return to earth, such as birds, airplanes, balls, and kites.)

II. The second content information page:
     a. Describe the second educational website that you hope to find and what information would be on that website for you students to gain knowledge for your standard. (Example: I would search for a website that provided information about some things in the sky that do not come down.)

     b. Describe the information that you plan to write on the second content page that would give you students information for their standard and will go with the educational website that you hope to find.  (Example: I would write about things that are in the sky and do not return to earth, such as stars, moon, and sun; and I would also introduce and write about the information on the linking website.)

III. The third content information page:
     a. Describe the third educational website that you hope to find and what information would be on that website for you students to gain knowledge for your standard. (Example: I would search for a website with basic information about earth's gravity as the cause for objects that return to earth.)

     b. Describe the information that you plan to write on the third content page that would give you students information for their standard and will go with the educational website that you hope to find.  (Example: I would write about the basic information about the earth's gravity as the cause for objects that return to earth; and I would also introduce and write about the information on the linking website.)

     c. Describe the two or more pictures that you hope to find for your third content page to go with you third educational website and with the content information that you are going to write.  Example: I would put pictures on this page of things that are in the sky and return to earth, such as birds, airplanes, balls, and kites.  I would also include pictures illustrating the earth's gravity.)
