2. Symbol-under the name. Must be three inches tall.
3. Atomic number
4. Atomic mass
5. Atomic radius
6. Density or specific gravity
7. Brief description of appearance

4. Requirements, continued
7. Availability, where it is geographically located (What part of the world)
8. Two industrial uses-illustrated
9. Two interesting facts-illustrated
Environmental hazards (if any)

6. Excellent Resources www.webelements.com
Go to Google and search for “periodic table” or “chemicool periodic table.”
You may try Googling the name of your element.
Image searches may be helpful.

7. You are encouraged to be creative
You are encouraged to be creative. A short oral presentation will be given by each student, using the book cover/PowerPoint as a visual aid.
