“ADOPT AN ELEMENT” MINI-PROJECT
DUE: (A-
23; (B-day) → SEPT 24
My ELEMENT IS: __________________________________
You may style YOUR “adopt an element” project however you want, so long
as it is something I can physically hold or hang on the wall (no emails).
Make it look like an advertisement, a comic strip, a brochure – be creative.
Just make sure that it CLEARLY shows the following components:
1)
2)
3)
4)
5)
6)
YOUR FIRST AND LAST NAME
Name of your element (VERY LARGE, please)
Chemical symbol of element
Atomic number
Atomic mass
Draw & label the # of protons in the nucleus (if more than 10 protons,
just write the # of protons)
7) Draw & label the # of neutrons in the nucleus (if more than 10 neutrons,
just write the # of neutrons) – will require research....
8) Draw & label the # of electrons orbiting outside the nucleus (if more
than 10 electrons, just write the # of electrons) – will require
research....
9) What phase is element at room temperature (solid, liquid or gas)?
10)
What is the color, and/or what is a PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION of this
element?
11)
Is your element a METAL, METALLOID, or NONMETAL?
12)
WHO discovered it?
13)
WHEN was it was discovered?
14)
WHAT is it used for – why would humans be interested in this
element?
15)
AT least ONE additional interesting, amazing fact that you bet
even Mr. George didn’t know… ;)
