Tips on writing in the 3rd person for a scientific paper

7th and 8 graders,
Here is a short article that might help if you are having a hard time writing in the 3rd person.
 https://penandthepad.com/write-research-paper-third-person-8202547.html

If absolutely necessary to convey personal experiences or reasons that you chose your topic, I'll allow the 1st person for that paragraph ONLY.

Happy writing!

Instructions for uploading videos to Google Classroom (6th Grade Science Meterologist project)

1. Email the video you create to your Google Classroom account (first.last@sfasgs.org)
2. Go into your gmail inbox
    - Click on the google apps box (3x3 dots next to your profile pic), then click the gmail icon
3. Open the email with your video and save it to your google drive
    - to do this, hover the mouse over the video image, then click on the google drive icon (it will say 'save to drive')
4. Go back to Google Classroom
     - via the google apps box again (3x3 dots)
5. Open 'Science 6'
6. Click on the assignment
7. Click on the 'Add or create' box, then click on the paperclip to add a file
8. Click 'my Drive' and your video should appear. Click on the video and then 'Add'
9. Click 'Turn in' on the assignment

**If that does not work (maybe the file is too large), another parent sent the following after recording the video on an ipad (the instructions seem a bit easier):
Open the photo app, pull up the video, and click the little box and arrow for send. 
Then click on the little button with three dots on the right for settings and add the google classroom app. 
Click on google classroom directly as the “receiver” for the video. 
Click on science 6, then the assignment, then attach video, then submit, and finally “turn in”.
