Review ABC Book
Objective: Your assignment is to construct an ABC book of terms/concepts that we have covered this semester.
Guidelines: Each page must contain two letters.
Page size must be standard (8 1/2 x 11)
Each page must be divided into 2 sections – 1 section for each letter
** You can only use 5 element words or symbols for the entire book.
Each page must include:
Ø 2 letters of the alphabet (artfully decorated)
Ø A minimum of 2 and a maximum of 4 chemistry words per letter
Ø Definition of the word (must be written clearly & accurately)
An illustration of that word (in color)
Or
An explained example of the word
Ø The final product must include at least 10 words from each of the four sections.
It will be graded using the following criteria:
Your alphabet book is worth 130 points.
Each letter is worth 5 points:
Letter (artfully decorated) – ½ point
2 chemistry words (from this semester) – 1 point
Clear & accurate definition of words – 2 points
A color illustration or worked example of the words – 1 points
General neatness - ½ point
Due on: Tuesday, Dec. 18, 2012
LATE PROJECTS WILL BE DOCKED 20 POINTS EACH DAY. ABSOLUTELY NO PROJECTS WILL BE
ACCEPTED AFTER THE WINTER BREAK! If you are
absent send your project with a parent or friend.
ABC Midterm Vocabulary
Remember, you must include two words for each letter on a page (so 4 words per page).
You must include at least 10 words from each of the four categories.
Highlighted words are for the chemistry students only.
Special Words/Pages:
· “J” = “Just What I Need”; at least 2 formulas, examples, definitions that you think might be useful on your midterm that aren’t anyplace else in your book.
· “W” = Tungsten; Draw the box from the periodic table for tungsten and label the different parts
· “U” = Uranium; include element name, symbol, family name, number of protons, number of electrons (explain these last two), and show how to calculate the number of neutrons
· “X, Y, and Z” = can all be counted as one letter [so you only need a total of two words for the three letters instead of six]
