                             •   2 class days for research (then finish at home). 
                                  
                     2.  Works Cited                                        Due:  Friday, October 10, 2014 
                             •   You are expected to cite your research sources properly using APA 
                                 formatting.  
                                  
                     3.  Periodic Table Foldable                           Due:  Friday October 17, 2014 
                             •   Once you choose your element, you will be given 2 copies of a foldable 
                                 for that element.   
                             •   You must submit 1 good copy of the foldable with information completed 
                                 and drawings/pictures included. 
                  
                 # 4, 5 & 6 are all due on the FINAL Due Date… 
                                                                                Monday, October 27, 2014 
                          
                     4.  Written Presentation of Research 
                             •   You will create some sort of “written” presentation of your research. 
                                        PowerPoint, Video, Poster, Brochure, etc. 
                                          
                     5.  Oral Presentation of Research  
                             •   Share your research with the class in a 2.5  to 5-minute oral 
                                 presentation.   
                                        Creating a video ahead of time is a good way to present if you are 
                                         too nervous to speak in front of the class. 
                                          
                     6.  Atomic Model 
                             •   You will build a 3-D model of an atom of your element. 
                             •   You can use any materials you like as long as the model is 3-
                                 dimensional. 
                  
                  Individual component descriptions are on the pages that follow.

                 1. Researching Your Element = 110 points 
                  
                     There is a great 18-volume set of element books in the library that are AMAZING 
                     sources of information for most elements.  These books are highly recommended 
                     resources for your research!  When doing research on the internet, you must use 
                     reliable internet resources.  Some helpful sites can be found in the Element 
                     Project section of Ms. Aman’s BCIT website. 
                                 NOTE:  Websites such as Ask, Answers, Infoplease…etc are NOT 
                                 acceptable sources! 
                                  
                     Keep track of any and all resources you use.  One of the project components is to 
                     create a “Works Cited” page with proper citations for all of your sources.   
                      
                     You MUST use at least TWO books in your research! 
                                                        Research Questions 
                                                                       
                   When & how was your element discovered? By whom? 
                             o  If your answer is “Known to the ancients,” then you must provide some 
                                 explanation of the element’s history. 
                   Where does the name of your element come from?  
                             o  Which language?  What is its meaning? 
                   Is your element a metal, nonmetal, or metalloid?   
                   To which “family” does your element belong?    
                   Where is it located on the periodic table - Group and Period?  
                   What are its chemical symbol, atomic number, and atomic mass? 
                   What is the electron configuration (long and shorthand) for your element? 
                   What does its orbital diagram look like? 
                   What are the physical and chemical properties of your element? 
                   Is your element found in nature?  If so, where? 
                   What would life be like if your element had never been discovered?   
                             o  Include detailed explanations of at least 3 examples of how your 
                                 element is used in everyday life.  Can’t find anything…see Ms. Aman! 
                   List any interesting facts you find about your element.  
                             o  You must provide at least 3! 
                                        None of these can be the same as your examples for the previous 
                                         question. 
                  
                    2. Works Cited = 20 points                                                                                    Chemistry 
                        Along with your research, you must submit a formal “Works Cited” page that lists 
                        all of the sources you used to research your element.  All students should use APA 
                        formatting for their sources.  You can find instructions on proper citations in the 
                        “Element Project” section of Ms. Aman’s website on the BCIT Medford Staff page 
                        (www.bcit.cc). 
                                       HINT:  Ms. Allen recommends using “NoodleTools” to help you create 
                                       your proper bibliography.  Noodle Tools is a site that allows you to input 
                                       information about your sources and then sets up your citations for you!  
                                       Make sure that when you begin a new list on Noodle Tools that you 
                                       choose APA Style! 
                    3. Periodic Table Foldable = 50 points 
                         
                        You will be provided with a “Periodic Table Foldable” for your element.  This is a 
                        sheet of paper with your element’s periodic table information printed directly on 
                        it.  The foldable is designed to be cut out and folded along the printed lines.  The 
                        resulting product is a small card with flaps that open to reveal information about 
                        your element.  This should be a snapshot of the most important and interesting 
                        facts regarding your element.  This portion of the project should be informative 
                        and creative.   
                         
                        Everyone’s foldable should include some sort of pictures or drawings INSIDE 
                        related to the uses of or interesting facts about their element.  You will be given 2 
                        copies of your foldable in case you make mistakes during your first attempt.  Ms. 
                        Aman has plenty of sample foldables for you to look at if you want to get an idea 
                        of what the final product should look like.  
                    4. Written Presentation of Research = 50 points 
                        Once you have found the answers to all of the questions listed above, you are 
                        going to put it all together in an easy-to-read presentation about your element.  
                        You can be creative if you like and create a brochure, guide book, flip chart, 
                        poster, PowerPoint, Wikispace, Prezi, video or use some other unique way of 
                        presenting your information.   
                         
                        Whichever format you choose, the information should be easy to access…NOT 
                        written in paragraph form.  Someone from outside of our class should be able to 
                        look at your poster, PowerPoint, etc and learn all about your element!  DO NOT list 
                        your information in a Word document.  This is BORING and shows little effort on 
                        your part. 
                   5. Oral Presentation of Research = 40 points                                                              Chemistry 
                        On the due date, you will present your research to the class in a 2.5 minute long 
                        oral presentation (5 minute max!).  You should be well prepared for your 
                        presentation and NOT simply read directly from your research.  Practice makes 
                        perfect.  You should time yourself at home as there will be penalties for those 
                        people who talk for LESS than 2.5 minutes AND for those people who talk for 
                        MORE than 5 minutes. 
                                     HINT:  If you practice at home and your presentation is close to 2.5 
                                     minutes, it will probably be shorter when you present in front of the 
                                     class.  Students tend to talk faster when they are more nervous.  You 
                                     want to make sure that your presentation is at least 3.5 minutes when 
                                     you practice so you don’t end up losing points because your 
                                     presentation is under the time requirement. 
                   6. Atomic Model = 75 points 
                        Once all other components of your project are completed, you will use your 
                        remaining creativity to build a 3-D model of the element you have researched.  
                        You MUST base the construction of your model on your element’s electron 
                        configuration and orbital diagram AS WELL AS make sure to represent the correct 
                        number of protons and neutrons within the nucleus.  Below is an example of how 
                        to plan your model from your element’s electron configuration and orbital 
                        diagram.   
                   Example:  Germanium (Ge) = 32 electrons                                             
                                                        2   2    6    2   6    2    10    2
                   Electron Configuration - 1s 2s 2p 3s 3p 4s 3d 4p  
                         
                   According to its electron configuration, a correct model of Germanium would have the 
                   following breakdown… 
                    
                                     Energy Level 1 – _____ electrons 
                                     Energy Level 2 – _____ electrons 
                                     Energy Level 3 – _____ electrons 
                                     Energy Level 4 – _____ electrons 
                    
                   THEN, once you have written the electron configuration, you should use the atom’s 
                   orbital diagram to determine how electrons should be paired up within those energy 
                   levels… 
                    
                   Let’s draw the Orbital Diagram for Germanium… 
                    
                    ___   ___   ___ ___ ___   ___   ___ ___ ___   ___    
                     1s   2s           2p         3s          3p         4s                                            
                    
                   ___ ___ ___ ___ ___   ___ ___ ___    
                                                       
                               3d                    4p
