SHOW-N-TELL

From memory, in 5-10 minutes:

1. Show the class an everyday consumer product (e.g. food, beverage, cosmetic, etc)

2. Teach us about ONE organic molecule found in it. 

3. Draw its structure on the board.

4. Why did you choose this?

5. Where is it found?

6. What are some of its chemical and or physical properties?

7. How is the molecule made? Is it natural or synthetic? 

8. What else did you find interesting about the molecule? (Uses? Toxicity? History?)

9. What is the IUPAC name of the molecule, if it has one? (You do NOT need to memorize this).

10. Good sources: Google Books, wikipedia, textbook, ACS molecule of the week

11. OPTIONAL: For extra credit, create a handmade infographic about your molecule on 8.5 x 11" paper to decorate the classroom. You must submit this the day you present to get the extra credit!

Below is a  schedule for everyone's show-n-tell. As soon as you know what molecule you'd like to present, let Dr. O know and he will add it to the Google sheet. Please no duplicates within the same class. Need to switch dates? Find someone to trade with, and let Dr. know and he'll make the change.
