Module 1: The Big Picture
     **An ore can be defined as a type of rock that contains gems, minerals or metals in the Earth. In order to get the gem, minerals or metals, the 'good stuff' must be extracted from the ore. Scientific research is very much like mining for gold. First you must find the gold (define the problem) and then, **
 *  __**Introduction to Online Research Experience - ORE**__


 *  **Develop a method for extracting the gold (design the procedure) **
 * **Extract the gold (conduct the experiment) **
 * **Analyze the product (analyze the data) **
 * **Describe the purity and quality of the gold (draw conclusions) **
 * **Sell your product (present your findings) **
