There are two parts to this assignment.
With the widespread usage of the internet and online news sources, many researchers spread information quickly via social media.
A recent popular online news topic is the much-anticipated Apple Car. Search Twitter for the following hashtag: #applecar. Share a link to a news item that has been marked with that hashtag (not the link to the Twitter post, but the link to the article that was shared) and summarize the article in your post. Is this a credible source to use in a research paper about the Apple Car? Why or why not?

•Why is the scientific method important? Make sure to discuss each of the steps in the scientific inquiry process.
