Chemistry Project Chapter 22
Organic Chemistry
From the topic picked in class, make a poster on an 8 ½ x 11 sheet of copy
paper or card stock that includes your hand drawing of a ball-and-stick diagram
of your selected organic molecule. Then, make a LIST of the following facts under
your drawing:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Molecular formula
Boiling point
Freezing/melting point
State at room temperature based on boiling and melting points
Everyday uses and benefits
Dangers or problems
The list should NOT be in complete sentences or paragraphs and should
definitely not be copied and pasted from a website. It should be in your own
words. If there are any words that you don’t know, look them up and reword
them into your own words. Make the list interesting and informative and as
relative to everyday life as possible. The drawing should be colorful and neat and
should be done by your own hand and not a copied and pasted picture from the
internet. Use a compass or traceable object to draw circles. The different atoms
of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, etc. should be labeled or color coded with a key for
the color coding. The drawing and the list should fill the 8 ½ x 11 page. Put the
name of your molecule at the top of the page as a title. As always, the project is
due on test day and bonus points will be given for early projects. Ten points per
day will be deducted for each day late.
