RESEARCH
PROJECT:
Students will research one
historical chemist and the
contributions made to the field of
chemistry
Students will investigate
forces of attraction.
Students will develop a procedure
to test the acidity of several
household substances.
Students will research nuclear
energy and the types of nuclear
power plants (classified by
reactor type, moderator…)
WRITING:
Argumentative
Informational
Explanatory
Narrative
Students will write an informative
paper about their scientist and
give a brief presentation to the
class.
Students will write to explain
the differences between ionic
v. covalent bonds and inter v.
intra-molecular forces.
Students will write a lab report
detailing the acid / base activity.
Reports will include all forms of
writing.
Students will write a paper to
provide an argument for the
“best” type of nuclear power in
terms of efficiency, cost,
manpower, energy output,
safety…
