Chemistry 105 Project

 

The Purpose of this project is to integrate technology, resource evaluation, research, and chemistry.

There are 2 components of this project:

                                                                                   Due date:    June 29

1.       Chemistry Standard PowerPoint Presentation       

2.    Electronic Science Portfolio                     

Each aspect of this project has a due date on which the project will be handed in electronically (emailed) and on paper to the instructor.  The student may, in consultation with the instructor, make revisions of their project before the final due date.

My email address is (jbradbury@cerritos.edu)  I will send you information or handouts relating to the project by email.

1.         PowerPoint slide  25 points  Due June 29

Pick one chemistry content standard that is interesting to you  and design a single PowerPoint slide around that standard.  Email this slide to your instructor by 11:59 p.m. on the due date

The slide must contain the following:

1.  Background that is related to the standard

2.     A photo or slide show or movie that is related to the standard that was found on the web (must reference URL)

3.     A border

4.     The standard must be written out

5.     A graphic that relates to the standard that was found on the web (must reference URL)

6.     A Web Page link that has content related to the standard

7.     Any extra effects could result in up to 5 extra points  (try not to over do it)

Grade will be based on design of the slide relevance of each of the parts of the slide to the content standard.

If you have trouble doing all of this on one slide you can create up to three slides.

Electronic Science Portfolio

A quick guide to building a Yahoo web page for your Web project

Log on to  http://www.yahoo.com  or you could use any of the other web hosting sights

Enter into geocities

       (near the middle of the page) the third highlighted choice after the word connect

If you have never logged into yahoo as a user you may have to log in as anew user.  If you have then use your previous name or log in as anew person- with your professional name.

The page should say “Build your own web site” 

Click on either pagewizards or pagebuilder.

Pick a background style, or theme.

Fill in the requested info.  You do not need to include a photo of yourself.  You can include a photo that you scanned or a chemistry picture you like.

Type in the links you have selected- such as the web pages you evaluated or the lesson plans you found on the web.

You may want to try the pagebuilder tutorial on the right hand side of the page, to guide you through some of the steps. 

You may attach pictures, write text, make links, provide your email and even attach your powerpoint presentation.
