1st Semester Project
Periodic Table Project
!
What things do you encounter everyday that contain or are elements on the periodic table? We
are going to find out. Individually you are going to find objects in everyday life that represents
elements on the periodic table and collect pictures of them. Having 20 elements represented by
the time the project is due on Monday, November 23, 2015 will earn you an 80 percent. Every
additional element you get after 20 will take you up the grading scale. Having 40 elements
represented neatly and correctly will give you an A. Any after that will earn you extra credit.
Part of your grade will be neatness and appearance of your project. We will not formally take
time in class to work on this project.
