-"pseudo science"
-Non-science reported like science

I chose pseudo science. My topic is bottled water. Like what I need to do? I have no idea what to write about.
What should I write about for bottled water?

I can use Power point. I think it's easier to explain.. because I need to present to the class.
Like should I compare them against tap water? or something..

I've changed my mind! I want to write about Organic food. Is that a topic for pseudoscience?
So I should write about Safety, taste, and chemicals? what you think?..
I am planning doing this on Powerpoint. So I will add pictures , etc. explaining the aspects.

BUMP. It's due on November 20. I want to start this project.

I want to write about bottled water.. that's my title.
I need to write an essay like if i am a pseudoscience . What to write about?

Should I write about why bottled water is better than tap water?

or why organic food is better than regular? Because I am good at that since I eat organic food.

Since I do not know what your prof want I cannot honestly give an opinion on the subject. However if you want to write on that subject from a scientific point of view you might need more than just I know, I eat that every day.
You will have to actually look for the science behind what you bring.
