You will create a poster or PowerPoint about an element and a compound containing that element.

You must include the following :

Part 1 : Element

• Name of the element
• Date of its discovery
• Who discovered it
• How it was discovered
• What its properties are (shiny, solid, liquid, gas, melting point, boiling point, etc)
• A use for the element
• A picture of the element

Part 2 : Compound

• What other element is combined with your original element in this compound?
• Date of its discovery (if applicable)
• Who discovered it (if applicable)
• How it was discovered
• What its properties are and how it differs from the original elements
• A use for the compound
• A picture of the compound
• How the compound is made
• A diagram of the molecular structure of the compound

You can add extra information in addition to this but all of the above must be covered in your poster or PowerPoint.
