These should be placed around any significant amounts of text (long phrases or sentences) that are identical to those in the cited reference. Otherwise, any information that was paraphrased in your own words needs to include the citation immediately following it.
  • Bibliography [6pts]: You should have at least 3 primary sources, with 4-6 usually being adequate, and having more than 10 would probably be a bit excessive. You can find documents on the NASA website, Wikipedia, web searches, or using google scholar.
  • please don’t use Ai and please paraphrase. Please try and utilise the these sources below + other sources you find and cite using APA 7. Include photos that you see fit.
