Hello, hope you having an awesome day. I chose Air Pollution and mental health. My previous assignment I done is attachment as well. Before working on this assignment, consult the Project Guidelines and Rubric document and read the scenario provided. The scenario will provide the background for your work on the project. For this assignment, you will choose a specific STEM-related issue you want to investigate for your project from the larger topic you chose in the Module One Journal assignment. Then you will select three or more sources to be used to investigate the issue for your project and go through the SIFT process to evaluate the validity of one of your sources. Scientific topics with example issues are linked in the Project Resources document in the Supporting Materials section. Be sure if you select a different STEM-related issue, it is backed by research or data from credible organizations or sources. Complete this assignment using the template linked in the What to Submit section. Specifically, you must address the following: Part One: Sources Locate sources related to the STEM-related issue you chose for your project. Locate at least three sources related to the STEM-related issue. You may select sources from the SCI 214 Project Resources document, linked in the Supporting Materials section. You can also choose your own sources that are not included in the document. For each source, create an APA citation that would appear on a references list. Part Two: Determining Validity First, select one of the sources you located. Next, use the SIFT method to evaluate the validity of the source by responding to each of the prompts. Describe your initial reaction to the source. This relates to the first step of the SIFT method: Stop and reflect. Consider the following questions in your answer: Do you recognize the source of the information? Does the content of the source elicit an emotional response in you? If so, could this be the result of bias? Does the source fit the purpose of your research? Explain whether the source is likely to present accurate, reliable information. This relates to the second step of the SIFT method: Investigate the source. Consider the following questions in your answer: What do you know about where this source comes from? Do you think it is reliable? When was it published? Is the information in the source accurate? Is the source peer-reviewed? Does it include references for facts and statements? Who wrote it? Would you consider them an authority on the issue? Explain whether the information in the source is credible. This relates to the third step of the SIFT method: Find supporting evidence. Consider the following questions in your answer: Are there other sources that support the information in this one? Does the information in other sources confirm or contradict facts or statements in this one? Describe the original source of the information. This relates to the fourth step of the SIFT method: Trace claims. Consider the following questions in your answer: Is the source you are evaluating the original source of the information? Does the source include the entire article, video, research study, etc., or is it an edited or summarized version? Does the source rely on another source for most of its information? Part Three: Conclusion Explain why the source is or is not appropriate for your project. Consider the following when determining whether a source is appropriate for your project: After evaluating the source using the SIFT method, do you think that the source is credible? Is the source relevant to the STEM-related issue you chose for your project? Submit your completed Module Two Project Proposal Template for grading. Be sure to cite the three or more sources that you will be using for your project. Follow APA citation guidelines when citing sources throughout this assignment. Although Brightspace allows the addition of video notes in assignment submissions, you may not use the Video Note tool to complete this assignment. Does the source have the information you need for your project
