Element Project Performance Task

This document provides instructions for a science project where students will research and present on an element from the periodic table. Students will work in groups of 1-2 to research an element from the first 4 periods, determining key facts about its properties and composition. They will present their findings in a format of their choosing, such as a poster, PowerPoint, or picture book. The presentation must include the element's atomic structure, common uses, and how indigenous people may have used it. Students will use a checklist to self-assess their project and provide peer feedback.

Science 10 Element Investigation

DUE DATE: TUESDAY, OCT 8th, 2019


There are many elements in the periodic table. Each element has unique characteristics and with
other elements, creates different compounds and molecules. In this project, you will be
investigating an element and presenting it in front of peers.
In groups of 1-2, you will be required to research an element from the periodic table from the
first 4 periods (or rows). During your research, you will be required to:

Determine some facts about the element such as:


- Number of subatomic particles
- Mass, symbol, atomic number
- State of element at -150°C, 0°C, 150°C
- Who discovered it and when was it added into the periodic table
- Known isotopes in nuclear notation
- How it is obtained and manufactured for human uses
- How have indigenous people used the specific element (if they did at all)
- Any WHMIS symbols for this specific element
- What its main purpose is used for today – with a token item symbolizing the element
- What it is as an ion – orbital drawing of ion
- What common compounds the element is found in

You will also need to create a model of the element as a Bohr orbital diagram
You can present your information in a format such as:
- Poster
- PowerPoint/Prezzy/etc.
- Picture Book
- Collage
- Another way approved by the teacher 😊
Element Project Information Checklist:
Use the checklist below to identify elements you have covered in your project. You (and your
partner) will use it for yourself, then when looking at another group’s presentation before the due
date. Indicate with a √ or a X if you or the other group have what the project requires or not.
