1  Atom project

2  Due 11-24 & 25-2008

3  There are three distinct parts to the atom project:

3.0.1  A full color data rich poster and an accompanying three minute speech all about the element you were assigned.

3.0.2  A set of "flash-cards" will some of the most important data about the first one-hundred and nine elements.

3.0.3  A model of the atom that you are building.

4  Let us examine the requirements one at a time:

The Poster.   

   A data-rich poster will be constructed of a standard sized piece of foam poster board. The poster will detail the history (who discovered the element), sources (is it mined, or manufactured), and the elements principle uses. Top grades will be given for complete information displayed in a visually interesting, and appealing manner. See the posters mounted in my room for some examples of top projects from the past.  
*  The Flash Cards.

   *  The flash cards will consist of one-hundred and nine 3" by 5" index card sized pieces of paper. If the flash cards are made of colored paper, the step of coloring them to match the periodic chart (metals are blue, nonmetals are yellow, the metalloids are green) can be eliminated. The cards will contain:
  1. The name of the element For example Hydrogen.
  2. The elemental symbol. ex. H is for Hydrogen.
  3. The elemental atomic mass.
  4. The state of matter that the element exists in on earth.
  5. The elements melting and boiling points in degrees C.
  6. What type of element it is. Metal, Non-Metal, or Metalloid.
The model of the atom.  
The model of the atom can be made in any number of ways. The best are made from common household objects. Recycled items are best. Please - no food products. Since no one can see an atom, have fun.
