Item 1 :

Item 2 :

Item 3 :

Item 4 :

Item 5 :

Item 6 :

Item 7 :

Item 1 : 6 Physical and Chemical Properties (where one property has to be atomic mass)

Item 2 : How it is found in nature (if it has more than 1, give first 3).

Item 3 : The chemical and/or physical way it is purified into only the element.

Item 4 : The location for finding this natural source of the element. (If in US, give the State and/or other country in the world).

Item 5 : If the source is found outside of US, do we have good relationship with the country and how does it get to US. If source is inside US, is there any environmental issues with obtaining the element and what State is it found and processed.

Item 6 : What is the element used for and what are the major products it is used for.

Item 7 : Is there an alternative to using this element in its major product and why don't we use the alternate instead of the element.

You will be asked to research one of the elements of the Periodic Table (see the bottom of the page to see which elements are available for which section/class).
You will be asked to research and report back on 7 items about the element you chose to research. The report will be 2-3 well written (that means clear,concise and complete sentences, NOT WORDY) paragraphs in a coherent fashion that covers all of the following items with respect to (w.r.t.) your chosen element.

Item 1 : 6 Physical and Chemical Properties (where one property has to be atomic mass)
Item 2 : How it is found in nature (if it has more than 1, give first 3).
Item 3 : The chemical and/or physical way it is purified into only the element.
Item 4 : The location for finding this natural source of the element. (If in US, give the State and/or other country in the world).
Item 5 : If the source is found outside of US, do we have good relationship with the country and how does it get to US. If source is inside US, is there any environmental issues with obtaining the element and what State is it found and processed.
Item 6 : What is the element used for and what are the major products it is used for.
Item 7 : Is there an alternative to using this element in its major product and why don't we use the alternate instead of the element.

Product (i.e. what you give me to be graded):

A file (either pdf, Word, or google docs) with the information below
Emailed to tmcleod@duxbury.k12.ma.us by the due date
On the subject line of the email, I want your name-Period-Element name (Atomic Number) for example; Subject: Mr.McLeod-P4-Helium(2)
In the body of the information, you will be using a color scheme to show that you have provided information about the 7 items discussed above. The following are the colors that the information needs to be present in your product and the item it relates to.:

Black - Item 1
Red - Item 2
Orange - Item 3
Yellow - Item 4
Green - Item 5
Blue - Item 6
Violet/Indigo - Item 7

After the body of the information, you will provide citation (using the APA format) to show where you obtained your information. For simplicity, the citations will be color coded as above (i.e. if you cited a source for Item 2, you would put that citation in Red in the Citation Section). Your citation section should have a title: Citations.

The number indicate the atomic number of the element that is available to which period.
