ELEMENT IN A BOX PROJECT
Name:
Pd:
Objective: Apply knowledge of concepts learned in class and information
collected from the internet and books to create an element box that
highlights a specific element from the periodic table.
Things you should do:
Make your box look like a real cereal box (colorful, fun, etc.)
Use computers to make your design, look professional.
No cutting and pasting, the entire box must be designed on computer.
Come up with funny slogans, clever mascots, or hilarious ad gimmicks.
The whole box should be disguised with a covering so that the original
package design/logos are completely covered.
BE CREATIVE!!
