Who the F. is Sherwood Rowland -- More on Internet research

You need to answer eight questions. Please type them -- or cut and paste them -- into an e-mail that you'll send me.

The point of this exercise is to continue sharpening your skills at reporting using online resources. Please use resources such as Switchboard.com, Zabasearch.com, Google.com, Local.live.com. You may also want to look at Dogpile.com which has separate buttons for Images, Audio and Video (though Google offers a lot of that, too)

We're pretending that this assignment is taking place on Oct. 13, 1995. You need to quickly research a man named F. Sherwood Rowland in order to write a profile on him. (Note: this exercise is primarily about researching and reporting him, not writing, though I may have you write a lede and a few grafs, TBA.)

Start with a basic search, and as you get your first few clues (his profession, location, etc.) narrow in on the specifics of the questions.

Here's one question to help you get past the first question: you need to find his first name -- the F. -- online.

Here are the questions:

1) What is F. Sherwood Rowland's home address?

2) Using any of the above websites, locate a map of his neighborhood. Copy and past the URL of the map into your e-mail answer sheet.

3) What can you tell about Rowland by examining the map of his neighborhood?

4) Find Rowland's office address and phone number at UC Irvine.

5) Find his date of birth.

6) Using any of the above websites, plot a map trip from the Orange County Register to Rowland's house, so you can travel there for your interview. The Register is located at 625 N. Grand Ave., Santa Ana. Copy the URL of the map and place in your e-mail answer sheet.

7) Locate at least two photos of Rowland. Copy and past the photos into your e-mail answer sheet.

8) Locate audio and video clips of Rowland. Copy and paste the URLs into your e-mail answer sheet.

Have fun!
