Woodville Tompkins High School

Dear Students,

Our Company, MW Industries, is a large chemical company based in the United States of America. We are currently seeking help of high school students like you to assist with putting together a large data base of elements that we could use in the manufacturing of different compounds used in everyday life.


In order for you to help us we have certain criteria that will need to be researched before your presentation. I have provided your teacher with a form that should help you in your pursuit of knowledge. Please make sure that this is filled out correctly and neatly, also it would help if it was completed in Black Ink for professional purposes.
Please be prepared to present your information. You may practice on your classmates first and your teacher can help with judging the quality of the information that you have gained for our company.

Thank you for your help in completing our data base.

Dr. Elemental

Element Project
Purpose: The purpose of this project is to promote familiarity of the Periodic Table and its families of elements. The student will gain an understanding of characteristics of elements and how those characteristics are related to everyday life.
Requirements:

1. Complete an Information Paper for your element. 40 pts.

Dr. Elemental has requested that you find the following information for your element. You may use a variety of resources. Possible ideas are encyclopedias, science catalogs, and or internet sites. Sources must be turned in, in APA style. Minimum of 3! The Information sheet should be written in BLACK INK and contain all the information requested. If you don’t want to use the information sheet you may create your own, but it will need to be printed or written in BLACK Ink.
2. Create a presentation for your element. 30 pts

You will also need to create a presentation that would promote your element’s significance to MW Industries. You must include the element’s name, symbol, atomic number, atomic mass, and a promotion slogan that describes one or more of its important uses for chemical companies. The presentation must be neat, colorful, and contain all the information listed above. This can be presented however you would like, either through song, poster, t-shirt, video, or anything else (please run it by me first). However, Dr. Elemental does not like presentations such as PowerPoints or Prezis, so for his sake we will not use these. You must use pictures that relate to your element’s theme. You will have to present to the class and to your teacher, so be PREPARED AND PRACTICE.


3. Create a 3-D atomic model of your element. 30 pts

Lastly, Dr. Elemental and MW Industrial have requested that you make a 3-D model of your chosen element. This will need to include all the structures that are present in the atom of that element. Please present the electrons in orbits around the nuclei using the proper atomic model.
