2. overview
The purpose of this project is for you to apply your knowledge of chemistry onto real life applications
This project can include the different units that were covered throughout this year in chemistry
This project will also put your research, organizational, and presentation skills to the test
Team/group effort will be used to complete this project

3. Overall requirements
Project will be completed in teams / groups (size of teams depends on the class size)
Chemistry topic will be researched by each team to create a final product that will be presented to the class (this will be your final exam grade)
Final product can be a PowerPoint presentation, Prezi presentation, a video, or a poster
There are pre-determined topics that teams will choose from (if a team would like to research on a topic that is not part of this list, please let me know what topic you would like to work on and I will decide if it is suitable for the project)
Class presentations will take place during the last week of school depending on the class size and the amount of time needed for the presentations
ALL team members must be part of the project and final presentation to the class

4. Requirements for each media

5. PowerPoint / Google Slide presentations
