Chemistry projects & presentations 4th 9 Weeks final

overview • The purpose of this project is for you to apply your knowledge of chemistry onto real life applications • This project can include the different units that were covered throughout this year in chemistry • This project will also put your research, organizational, and presentation skills to the test • Team/group effort will be used to complete this project

Overall requirements • Project will be completed in teams / groups (size of teams depends on the class size) • Chemistry topic will be researched by each team to create a final product that will be presented to the class (this will be your final exam grade) • Final product can be a PowerPoint presentation, Prezi presentation, a video, or a poster • There are pre-determined topics that teams will choose from (if a team would like to research on a topic that is not part of this list, please let me know what topic you would like to work on and I will decide if it is suitable for the project) • Class presentations will take place during the last week of school depending on the class size and the amount of time needed for the presentations • ALL team members must be part of the project and final presentation to the class
