PRESENTATION
Students will have the option to produce either a bi-fold or tri-fold pamphlet to provide information on a specific household chemical. A pamphlet will contain a minimum of five (5) subheadings providing information on the specific chemical. Pamphlet sections may contain outlined or written information. Small pictures maybe included for emphasis, clarity, or creativity, but cannot take up more than 15% of the information area. Topics that could be researched but are not limited to are listed below. A reference or works cited section is a mandatory section found at the end of the pamphlet. Students are expected to use a minimum of four (4) different references to research information. (Encyclopedias are not permitted as acceptable sources)


 * 1. Basic Chemical Properties
 * a. Chemical Composition (chemical & structural formula)
 * b. Molecular weight & density
 * c. Melting Point/Boiling Point
 * d. Other Physical Properties (??)
 * 2. Uses & Applications
 * 3. Production (or extraction)
 * a. Include refining (and recycling?)
 * 4. Health & Safety
