1st NINE WEEKS PROJECT – Advanced
Elements, Compounds, and Mixture Project
Date Assigned _______________ Due Date _____________
*** Counts as a MAJOR TEST GRADE***
Directions: Select 2 Elements, 2 Compounds, and a Mixture. Use the following chart to research
the elements, compounds, and mixtures you selected. You can write a paper, create a poster board,
or anything that can be physically turned in to the teacher (not electronically). You must use your
OWN words. Copying is plagiarizing. Attached you will find a list of Elements and Compounds, but
you may use others that are not listed on here. Please include at least one graphic for each element,
compound, or mixture.
