journalistic science writing typically uses shorter paragraphs (less than 150 words)
that said, maintain paragraph structure, where each paragraph is typically is more than just one or two sentences.
each paragraph needs an opening sentence, a topic sentence, supportive sentence(s), and a closing sentence. The topic sentence can be the opening sentence. Thesis statement:
identify your thesis sentence by using italic font and underline. Your thesis sentence must come in the first paragraph, and usually works best at the end of the first paragraph. The purpose of your introductory content is to guild your reader toward your thesis statement. In the act of guiding your reader, also work on enticing them into reading your entire paper. Your aim in the first paragraph is not to educate your audience on the general area under discussion, which is the textbook’s purpose. Write your thesis statement as a question for your readers. Think of it as a puzzle you intend to solve. Thesis statements are not statements of known fact or statements of intended areas of research you will cover in your essay.
