Students will be doing an interdisciplinary research/writing project in Reading Workshop and science. Students will choose an element from the periodic table and describe the stages of the element's life.
The language arts grade for this project will be based on organization, creativity, PUGS (punctuation, usage, grammar, and spelling), completeness, and overall quality of writing. Students will also be writing a poem about the element and it will be graded too. The science grade will be based on content and quality of overall project as described on the project information sheet provided by Ms. Huysman.
Before beginning to write, students must know the following information:
1. Name of element
2. Element symbol
3. Atomic number
4. Atomic mass
5. Number of protons
6. Number of electrons
7. Number of neutrons
8. Date of discovery
9. Discoverer
10. Country of discovery
11. Boiling Point
12. Melting Point
13. State of Matter
14. Family name
15. Names of family members
16. Period/group
17. Uses for element
18. Type of element
All of this information is expected to be included in the project. The written part will be posted on student blogs. This will be printed out and included with other parts of the project as required for science.
