PowerPoint Template for Origins & Chemical Change Project

• Project Purpose– To make a connection

between your personal interests and chemistry

– To share what you learn with our community of learners

• Background– All matter is chemical– Our human ability to

manipulate matter empowers our human abilities

– No matter what our interests are – athletic, artistic, financial…chemistry is involved

Your Task

• Research and Create a report on how chemical changes are involved in an object or vocation of interest to you.

• Keep track of your sources of information.

• Make sure you save all your research separately to your Y drive or a personal thumb drive.

• Make a PowerPoint following the guide with a minimum of 8 slides as outlined in the project guide

• Present your report to the rest of the class.

The Specific ObjectStep I / Slide 1

• Work Task

• Brainstorm and Decide on the object that you will focus on.

• Keep yourself flexible and have a back up object in mind

• Presentation

• Introduce your object• Be as specific as

possible – Brand , model etc.

• Tell us why you chose your object

Components & Ingredients

Step II A- C / Slide II• Task

• After Identifying your object make a list of all of it’s components or ingredients

• Choose a component or ingredient you will focus on

• Keep a backup component in mind

• Presentation

• Include an Image of your object and a list of components and ingredients – use common and chemical names

Raw Materials Step II D-E / Slide III

• Task

• Identify the raw materials used to make your component

• Many raw materials may be manufactured – trace at least one ingredient back to before human hands or machines touched it (raw earth, plant, animal … materials)

• Presentation

• Show specific places on earth where the raw materials are sourced for your item

• Include a map and images of the places raw materials are sourced

• Show the people who live there

Chemical Change Step II F / Slide IV

• Task• Identify chemical

changes that take place as raw materials are manufactured into your component or item.

• Choose one chemical change to focus on

• Presentation

• Describe the chemical change with an equation and show a model drawing of compounds involved

• Provide a description and images of how this change is made – use the language of chemistry

• Share any info you think is important or interesting

Places & Effects of Sourcing & Manufacturing Step II G / Slide V

• Task

• Research examples of specific places where your –

– Raw materials are sourced (mined or grown) and processed

– Components are grown, assembled or manufactured

• Research what the positive and negative economic, health and environmental effects of these activities are.

• Presentation– Present images of the

places materials are processed & manufacturing is done.

– Discuss major impacts for the people and ecosystems where these activities take place. Use the language of chemistry.

Impacts of Use and DisposalStep II H / Slide VI

• Task

• Research health and environmental impacts related to the use and disposal of your product

• Answer the questions– How can negative effects be

reduced?– How could positive effects be

increased?

•

• Presentation• Outline what the

major impacts of use and disposal of your item are.

• Give examples of problems and solutions to problems (or negative effects)

Sources of InformationStep II - I / Slide VII

• Task

• Assemble all of your sources of information into a bibliography – If you use wikipedia,

ehow or similar sites you should have a reference to the source info for the article

• Presentation

• A simple list of sources which you can explain.

Personal Statement Step III – Slide VIII

• Task• Think about what you

have learned in the course of your research– What is the most important

thing you have learned?– How may this influence

choices you will make in the future?

– What would you like us to think about as a result of your research?

• Presentation

• Summarize your response to the results of your research.

Self Evaluation, Backup & Presentation

Step III• Task

• Complete a self evaluation on the rubric before your presentation – If you worked with a partner you should state what each of you did separately.

• Complete and give your presentation.

– Make sure you have made your presentation interesting for your fellow students – be creative with images and layout

– Be direct with your writing. It is Ok to orally explain simple images and outlines of info as part of the presentation – every detail should not be written in slides.

• Presentation

• Email a copy of your finished presentation to tbullock@pps.net -That will serve as your backup if you lose your work.
