Element Research
Overview: You will research one element of your choice; find its abundance, cost, sources, properties, atomic structure/ Bohr model, natural appearance and any other relevant information.
Process:
Step 1: Select an element that you would like to learn more about.
Step 2: Decide how you would like to present your findings – as a poster, PowerPoint presentation, oral presentation or written summary.
Step 3: Submit a proposal and include your element, how you will present your information and where you will collect your data.
Step 4: Perform research on your element and compile your findings on all major points listed above on a poster, PowerPoint or oral presentation or written summary.
Step 5: If you need to schedule time to present in class, plan a date to be put on the class schedule with the teacher.
Step 6: Submit your project on time.
Deliverables: Cover page, Approved Proposal, Written report 2-3 pages OR a PowerPoint presentation of 7 or more slides OR create a poster that visually and textually captures the important aspects of your element OR design another presentation format. References page giving a correct APA bibliographic citation.
Fee: $1,300 on average [Consultant-Based Learning: Dollars Equate to Class Points/Credit]
Other helpful suggestions: Select an element you find interesting and be sure to discuss it's abundance (how much is on the earth?), cost (how much you have to pay for it?), sources (where is it found and/or isolated?), properties (how does it behave?), atomic structure (what does it look like at the atomic level?), Bohr model (what does it's shell structure look like, where are the sub-atomic particles?) and appearance (what does it look like in large amounts?).
