=Discovering the Elements Webquest=

As a ninth grade we will be creating an interactive table of the elements. Each student, or group of two, will be responsible for using the weblinks below to gather and publish information about their element. Your completed assignments will then be uploaded to this wikispace for all students to access information about any element listed.

You will each be assigned an element based on a blind draw. You will be responsible for neatly compiling and presenting the required information as a Microsoft Word Document (97-2003 template). DO NOT COPY AND PASTE PICTURES. You need to save them to your picture file, go to the insert tab and choose picture. Find your picture and double click or drag it onto the page.

When your document is completed, go to the Acrobat tab at the top of the page. Choose Create PDF and save your document as your Element's Name. Then email your pdf document to metzgarscience@yahoo.com. In the subject line of the email, write your name(s). I will upload them to the interactive periodic table wikikink.

The required material for each element can be accessed by clicking on the link below.

Your grade for this project will be based on 100 points. Eighty points will be allotted to the gathering and presentation of the required material. Please see the rubric below for the evaluation criteria. Twenty points will be allotted towards creativity and originality in your presentation of the required information. Your completed document must be emailed to metzgarscience@yahoo.com by Monday, March 17, 2008.
