Our instructor went to a teachers conference where they said to better prepare students for university they should be including journal articles as research in labs. In our latest lab out line he added:
"Using APA format cite at least one journal article dealing with [heat, the subject of the lab]"
I have tried searching for journal articles on google scholar and the biggest problem I am having is finding articles with useful information that would pertain to my report. As well often the level of comprehension is often beyond my understanding.
The lab is measuring the specific heat capacity of an unknown metal sample by the way.
