Element PowerPoint Project



Element Google Presentation Project Or Periodic Table of the ElephantsThe Problem: You have been asked by the American Chemical Society to design a PowerPoint presentation local libraries can use or to design a stapled brochure of the information with a catchy front cover that showcases an elephant. They have asked you to prepare the information about one of the elements on the periodic table. It would be shown to local citizens (and will be shown to your classmates) so it must be presented in such a way that the average reader would understand it. It must contain the following information on the slide indicated:An element will be selected by you during science class. If you are doing a Google Presentation then you must share it with: anrakers@. Points To Consider:If google presentation: Slides must be in the order listed.If Periodic Table of the Elephant brochure: Pages must be in order listed.You must have a title on each of your slides/pages.Do not include any words in your presentation/brochure that the average person would not understand. If you feel the need to include a word most people don’t know, be sure to define it! If you are unsure, define it anyway just to be safe.Remember CUTTING AND PASTING AND/OR COPYING INFORMATION WORD FOR WORD IS CONSIDERED PLAGIARIZING!! Write in your OWN words.Creativity: The presentation/brochure should be pleasing to the eye and should contain pictures, images or objects where appropriate. Do not allow the presentation/brochure to contain only text. Also do not allow your slides to look “busy” with too many graphics, too much color or designs. You have TWO class periods in which to complete this project. TWO.Requirements:Minimum of 10 slides/pages (If doing Periodic Table of the Elephants you will have 11 pages with the 1st page being your elephant picture.) 1st slide/page Must have the student’s name, class period, and the name of the element 2nd slide/page Element’s symbol, atomic number, mass number, proton/neutron/electron number3rd slide/page Melting point and boiling point for the element State of matter at room temperature (solid, liquid, or gas) Classification: metal, nonmetal, metalloid Family/Group name4th slide/page Bohr model of the element’s atomic structure: number of energy levels and how many electrons per level Lewis Electron Dot Diagram Model: must include the element’s symbol and the valence electrons located in the correct location 5th slide/page Date of discovery Who discovered the element? Name origin---from what language/country 6th slide/pageParagraph about the elements friends (tell about the bonding that this element likes to make and what happens to its electrons) 7th slide/page What makes your element unique or special? List 5/7 important physical and/or chemical properties of the element. Make sure you explain why some of the properties you listed make your element unique. 8th slide /page Why is your element important? What would we be without if your element did not exist? You must give the most common uses of the element. 9th slide/pageThis slide/page must tell how someone could obtain a sample of your element. This would include the location on earth where the element is found. If your element is found pure in nature you must tell that as well. 10th slide/pageThe last slide/page must have the resources/websites the student used to gather the information.Websites you may find helpful: Go to rakersscw.
