Chemistry Final Project

Chemistry Final Project

Due Monday, March 11, 2019

In Chemistry we have learned a lot (atoms, solids, liquids, gases, elements, compounds, mixtures, periodic table, and chemical reactions). For this final project you must create a project that encompasses each part of this unit.

Choose an element on the Periodic Table (excluding hydrogen & helium). Research the following information and create your choice of presentation format (scrapbook, formal report, model, etc). You will be evaluated by your peers as well Mrs. Hutchings, so make sure to do your best! Elements may not be repeated.

• Name
• Atomic Number
• Atomic Mass
• Melting Point (make sure to explain what this means on the atomic level, include an illustration)
• Boiling Point (make sure to explain what this means on the atomic level, include an illustration)
• Density
• Phase at room temperature (make sure to explain what this means on the atomic level, include an illustration)
• Classification (metal/nonmetal)
• Period number
• Group numbered
• Number of Valance Electrons
• Reactivity (non-reactive, reactive, highly reactive)
• Add five interesting characteristics about your element
• Include an atomic representation of your element (use the Bohr Model)

Additional information needed in your project:

• Explain (with illustrations)

• The differences between compounds, mixtures, and elements
• Physical & Chemical Properties
• Physical & Chemical Changes

Students created their own Rubrics for the Chemistry Final Project:
