1. Xavier and Kevin
SALT
- Kevin presented the entire
poster by himself
- Listed a few important
facts about salt’s role in the
human body
- Na and Cl should be
presented as separate
elements on the periodic
table
- Na Cl is a SINGLE bond, not
double, Cl has 7 valence
electrons, and Na has 1
valence electron, one bond
needed to have 8 total
electrons (full outer shell)
- Xavier did not equally
present
- You could speak louder,
make eye contact with the
audience
- You could have practiced
the presentation beforehand
- too short (less than 3
minutes)
2. Willie and Jaycob
(water)
- both members equally
presented
- gave many examples and
reasons why water is
important for living
organisms, with an emphasis
- try not to read from the
poster, you can practice more
and use notecards so you can
look at the audience while you
present
