Physical Science Element Presentation

Directions: Research your assigned element. You need to record info on the element data sheet. Create a PowerPoint Presentation that represents your element. Be sure all spelling is correct and all information is neatly written. Include the atomic number, name and symbol neatly and large so it can be read from a distance. You can copy some pictures from the Internet onto a disc to include in your presentation. Please bring them with you to class. Your class is scheduled to go into the computer lab to create presentations. You will utilize your time to create the presentation, not to do research. You will present your PowerPoint creation to your class on the day it is due. This is a 100-point assignment.
