Student will choose one of the two options below to study, and present their findings to the class in a 8-10 minute individual presentation using Google Slides. A tentative schedule of presentations is below, followed by the options. This will be worth 50 classwork points. You need to sign up at the following link. Be specific if you are signing up TV series (ex. Season 1, Episode 1).
In this project you will study a potential career that in some way uses chemistry. Create a Google Slides presentation (8-10 min) that teaches the class what you learn! Upload a shareable link to your presentation on Jupiter a day before the presentation date. Have fun! Some guiding questions are:
And some useful resources:
Pick a clip from film or TV that uses (or misuses!) chemistry and create a Google Slides presentation to explain it (8-10 min). If you can, please include the clip (≤ 2 ~3 min of your total presentation). If not, describe the clip. Upload a shareable link to your presentation on Jupiter a day before the presentation date. Have fun!
When not working on project 1, students will work every day in the lab, in a team of three, tasked with applying the techniques we've learned this year to identify an unknown white solid. You and your partner will be given many days to plan, experiment, and report your findings in a Google Slides submission (not presented live). This will be worth 50 classwork points. You will have access to:
•basic lab equipment (spatulas, clamps, etc.)•glassware (beakers, flasks, test tubes, etc.)•hot plates, stirrers•centrifuges•burners•conductivity probes•scales•pH meters•gas pressure sensors•spectrophotometers•ovens•thermometers•chemicals used this year may be available•chemicals NOT used this year may be requested
