Honors 101-04 (Science & Religion, Prof. Johmann): Home

After reviewing each source, turn to someone next to you and discuss the following questions: 

1. Which source is scholarly? How do you know?

2. After skimming the source, what do you think each source says about religion and climate change? In what ways are these sources in conversation with each other? 

Watch this video on lateral reading to learn more about quick ways to evaluate a general public source. 

1. Develop a research question.

Critique the following research questions: 

• Do the majority of Christains believe in climate change? 
• How do religious beliefs impact people's perceptions of climate change?
• How do Christian denominations in the United States differ in their views on climate change?

2. Generate a list of keywords. 

• Protestant, Pentacostal, Baptist, Catholic, Mormon, etc. 
• Climate change, global warming, climate crisis, environmental change
• Beliefs, perceptions, bias

3. Construct an advanced search string. 

Check out this guide on how to connect keywords in a database. 

• ("religious beliefs" OR religion) AND ("global warming" OR "climate change" OR "climate science")

1. Create a new post by clicking on the plus sign button in the bottom right corner.

2. In the title, write your own example of a research question related to science and religion. 

3. In the body of the post, add keywords you could use to search, and connect them with parenthesis, quotation marks, and connectors (AND, OR, NOT).
