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!!

 Create a list (at least 4) of compounds of your element and explain their
uses.
3. Right Panel
 Written description and color picture of what your element looks like
(Include ALL: Color, state of matter, metal/nonmetal/metalloid, Group
name, period, melting and boiling points, and state at room temperature)
HIGHLIGHT these terms in your writing.
