Learning as much as you can about MRIs will help you in your project.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging is a type of medical test that can help doctors see inside the human body without having to cut anything open. All the technical information about MRIs can make a school project seem daunting--after all, it's a large, complicated device. However, like any project, if you are truly prepared for the task it will be easy and even fun.
Instructions
1. Start by writing down everything you know about MRIs as well as any question you have. Don't worry if you don't know much about them just yet.
2. Begin your search by looking up articles and websites about MRIs. Write down as many notes and facts that you can find that are both interesting and helpful. However websites will only have basic information and probably will not satisfy all of your questions.
3. Go to your local library and look up books that talk about MRIs. Knowing its history will help improve your project as well. Be sure to make notes of all the information you find here.
4. Ask friends and family members if they've ever had an MRI performed or if they know someone who has. Ask them if it would be okay for you to interview them about their experience. Be sure to write down any memorable quotes that your interview subject says. This will give your project a personal touch.
5. Call an MRI center and request if you can have a doctor or a nurse show you an MRI machine and answer some questions. Let them know that it is for a school project. This will give you first-hand information that you cannot get from a book or website. However, doctors and nurses are busy people so do not take it personally if they cannot find time to have you interview them.
6. Organize all of your information. Make another list of what is important and what is interesting. You must make sure that your project fulfills all of your teacher's requirements while trying to remain interesting.
7. Begin assembling your project according to the instructions given to you by your teacher. Use pictures where you can to add some visual interest to your project. Also begin thinking about your speech if you are required to give one. If you do leave mostly important information on your visual aid so that you do not overwhelm your audience. Pepper your speech with all of the facts that you found most interesting.
