Elements Project sheet

Elements Project

You will create a Prezi powerpoint on your element, by going to www.prezi.com. Register if you are not already a user and go through the tutorial or get help from someone who has already designed a Prezi presentation. You may work alone or with a partner, but no groups of three. You will have two and a half classes to research and create your Prezi presentation. During this time you may not go on Facebook or chat with your friends by email – this is a working period only. You may email yourself information to include in the presentation. Make sure you include all of the following information below. Some useful sites are: chem4kids.com (see Elements), www.wikipedia.org, and http://www.chemicalelements.com/index.html. If you lose this paper, you may reprint the information or see it on my blog at: http://neusecharterschoolscience.blogspot.com/

Homework and deadlines:

  • Tuesday night: research your element. If working with a partner, decide which information each partner will research. Read pgs. 310-314 about organic compounds to see which compounds your element can make.
  • Wednesday: finish researching your element; work on the Prezi presentation
  • Thursday: put finishing touches on the Prezi presentation
  • Friday: presentations
