CCTIChemistry - CHEMISTRY PROJECTS
Each marking period for Chemistry I, one major project will be due. The projects will be posted here each time they are assigned.
Marking Period 1 - Tombstone project. Research a deceased inventor/scientist of a product or process used in your Tech area. Create an 8 by 11 inch (standard piece of printer paper or paper without lines) tombstone (3D tombstone for extra credit!) for that inventor. The tombstone must include the scientist's name, birth/death dates, place where they lived/worked, and a symbol/drawing reflecting their invention as well as a symbol/drawing of how it is related to chemistry. A one page report including inventor/scientist's name, birth date, date of death, country worked in, scientist's chemistry application, interesting topics (2 minimum) regarding the scientist and why you chose that scientist must also be submitted with your tombstone. Include your name on the lower right hand corner of this paper. Attach this one page report to the backside of your tombstone. Grading rubric - spelling, neatness, creativity, color, and following instructions. Examples of previous year's student's work will be displayed in the classroom for reference.
Early Bonus - if submitted early, earn 5 extra points! Rubric Bonus - attach your rubric to the back of the Tombstone to earn 5 extra points! 3D Bonus - create your tombstone in 3D and earn 5 extra points! Project due date to be entered ASAP. Early bonus - completed project turned in by date to be entered ASAP, earn 5 points on to your project score.

Marking Period 3 - Oral Report. Students will prepare a 4 to 5 minute presentation covering how chemistry is related to their tech area. One class period will be used for introduction and researching information from both the chemistry text book and tech area text book and/or for preparing an outline. Topics must be approved before and student must sign up for a presentation time slot, if not a time slot will be assigned to you. Presentations will tentatively begin on date to be entered during 3rd marking period, and must include how chemistry is used in your tech area with an in depth explanation of its application in the student's tech area.

Class time will be given during various periods (depending on the NOCTI and Keystone Tests schedule) in April/May for work on poem. Poem's will be graded on content (spelling, chemistry terms used, neatness, creativity,etc.) and design. Maximum size is regular paper 11 X 8 1/2 inches. Poem due date to be entered during the 4th marking period. Early Bonus - if submitted by date to be entered, earn 5 extra points! Rubric Bonus - attach your rubric to the back of your poem for 5 bonus points
