Element Election!

Each student will select an element to focus on. They will make a prezi (www.prezi.com) including the following information:
element name and symbol
year discovered
who discovered
atomic weight
atomic mass
melting/freezing point
cost per unit
number protons/neutrons/electrons
number of electron shells
normal state
uses
interesting infomation

Higher level chemistry students will also include information about the element's electronegativity and other higher level concepts.

To inspire creativity, the students will act as if they are the elements' campaign managers. They will treat their presentation time as a time to "fight for their elements" in front of another class. They will also make posters and campaign for their elements all week. The second class will vote on the winning element.
