Materials:
Element License Plates
1. Periodic table
2. Piece of Oak tag
3. Crayons, Markers, any craft items you want. (Use leftover items at home!)
Clip art and color printer, markers, glue, construction paper, will be
available in class.
4. Your creativity!
Procedure:
1. You are to create a License Plate using the symbols from the elements on
the Periodic Table.
2. You also need to include the following information on the separate sheet
provided.
a. Each Element’s name
b. Each element’s symbol
c. Atomic number
d. Atomic Mass
e. Number of Protons
f. Number of Neutrons
g. Number of Electrons
h. Color of element
i. Which group it is in (Halogens, Transition metals, etc.)
j. Uses
k. Your First and Last name and Class name on the Back right corner
3. You MUST use a minimum of three elements.
4. You must be as creative as possible and make it look like a real license
plate!
PROJECTS WILL BE DONE INDIVIDUALLY AND IN CLASS!
Due Wednesday:
1. A rough draft of your license plate with the elements you are using.
2. You must have a rough draft that is approved and signed off by Mrs. Burke
or you will not be allowed to start working on your project. You will also
lose 10 points for not having a rough draft sketch of your plate and can not
begin work on Wednesday without one.
Due Wednesday and Thursday:
3. Any/all materials you will need must be brought in on Wednesday.
Thursday:
Class time will be spent INDIVIDUALLY working on your license plate.
Friday: We will begin presenting License Plates

On the right
track. I would
like to have seen
more elements
and more effort
in your
creativity.
There was a lot more
that could have been
done. More elements
could have been used
and lacking in
creativity.
