3rd
Quarter Extra Credit
Express one concept of chemistry that you have
learned in a creative way, accompanied by a short written assignment that
explains the concept and how your project explains it. You will be graded on
the depth of knowledge of the concept demonstrated, how well your project and
writing explain it, quality, detail, uniqueness, and completeness
This
assignment is worth up 10% on quarter grade. You must have turned in 90% of you
assignments (up to 4 missing HW) to be eligible. The due date is Thursday,
March 10. I will not take it late. If you work with a partner or partners, I
expect a significant increase in depth and/or breadth of the subject. Also the
partners must come in before or after school on March 11 before or after school to answer questions
about the process. They must come in together.
