Element+Projects

Element project guidelines

You must build a model of your atom with the correct number of orbits and the correct number of electrons on each orbit. Please be creative on the materials that you use. YOU SHOULD NOT SPEND VERY MUCH MONEY, IF ANY AT ALL, ON THIS PROJECT.

Create a poster on a sheet of 8 1/2 by 11 piece of paper OR see your teacher for a bigger size of paper.

Your poster/presentation should include the following information: name, symbol, atomic weight, picture, description of the element, number of protons, number of electrons, number of neutrons, and interesting facts or uses. It should also contain information about the compound you choose to research. The compounds formula, where it is found, and uses of it. Use your scoring rubric on the back of the Adopt An Element form to guide you.
