To avoid plagiarism, use in-text citations to attribute direct quotes, paraphrased text, or references to other authors' ideas. Usually, an in-text citation lists the source's author and the page number you've referenced in parentheses. In some cases, you may have to add more detail. The aim of an in-text citation is to point the reader to the full entry on your works cited page. When they see the in-text citation (Smith 24), they'll know to look for the full entry listed on your works cited page under the last name Smith. Place the period after the parenthetical citation instead of at the end of your text. Name the article's author, and include the page number if it's a printed article or a source that appears in both print and online. If there are 2 authors, list them alphabetically, then include the page number: (Jones and Smith 252). If there are 3 or more authors, write the first author then "et al.": (Jones, et al. 241). You only need to include the page number in parentheses if you've mentioned the author's name in your text, like this: "According to Hidalgo, a high-glycemic diet increases the risk of pancreatic disorders (12)." Skip the page number if the source doesn't have one, such as an article on a newspaper website. If your works cited page includes multiple sources by the same author, your in-text citations need to name the specific source. For the sake of brevity, just include the first few words of the title. For instance, abbreviate the title "Diabetes Mellitus and Obesity as Risk Factors for Pancreatic Cancer" by G. Eibl to (Eibl, "Diabetes Mellitus" 518). If you have 4 sources listed under the author Smith, the in-text citation (Smith 242) doesn't tell the reader which of the 4 Smith entries you've referenced.

One-sentence summary -- Make a parenthetical citation after a quote or reference. Write the author's name and page number for printed articles. Include shortened titles if you've cited multiple works by 1 author.

One rose means "you're the one", so don't be embarrassed about not giving your special one an entire garden. Hang the rose upside down on the wall when it starts to wilt because it will dry up and you can keep it for years to come. Because a single rose could still be a little pricy on Valentine's Day, ask your mom or grandmother if you can pick a rose from her rose bush. It will be that much more special since it was grown by someone you love. They will have all the stuff that's normally expensive at party stores and flower shops, like balloons, candy, and stuffed animals. Snag a few different items since, hey, they're only a buck! Pick out Valentine's Day cards in the store at the same time. Give them to each other on the spot and decide together if you want to buy the cards, or if you just want to take a picture to remember the moment. You don't need to spend over $15 for a small potted plant, plus it will last longer than cut flowers. They can keep it on their desk at work as a reminder of how much you love them. Provide instructions on how to properly take care of the plant to help it live a long life and bloom often. Succulents, like cacti and aloe vera, are great options since they are low-maintenance and live for a long time. Plus, cacti can grow flowers if they have proper lighting, soil, and watering!

Have your supplies on hand before you start on this experiment. You will need: Plastic bottle with a cap: A large soda bottle is ideal for this experiment. Make sure to remove the label from the plastic bottle. Then you will be able to see the clouds when they form inside the bottle. It is also best to choose a clear bottle. Matches Water Use hot water from the tap. Pour in enough water to cover the bottom of the bottle, or about 1 inch (2.5cm). Don't use boiling water in a plastic bottle. The plastic might warp and the experiment won't work. The water should be hot, though. Try for about 130F (54C). Swirl around the water a bit to warm up the sides of the bottle. Blow it out after a few full seconds. Make sure an adult is around you while you are doing this step. Tilt the bottle with one hand and insert the head of the match into the top of the bottle. Let the smoke from the match fill the bottle. , where it will seem to disappear. Discard the match. Grip the neck of the bottle so that you do not squeeze the sides before the cap is screwed in completely. This prevents any smoke or air from escaping. Do this three or four times. Wait a few seconds then squeeze the bottle again, this time holding the squeeze longer before releasing. You should see your very own cloud there! Putting pressure on the bottle's sides forces the water particles to compress. When you let go of the sides of the bottle, the air expands, decreasing the temperature. When the air cools, the particles can stick together a little more easily, which causes them to clump into little tiny droplets around the smoke molecules. This mimics the process of clouds forming in the sky. Clouds in the sky are made up of water droplets that have clung to tiny particles of dust, smoke, ash, or salt.
