Sheard Adopt-an-Element Physical Science Project: Home

Objective

For this project, you will adopt an element from the periodic table. You will have the opportunity to research and become an expert on one of the elements on the periodic table.  This information will be presented as an infographic (using Canva), a  poster, a graphic novel, or a brochure.

Process

APA Format Using NoodleTools

Remember - a bibliography is not a list of URLs. Use Noodle Tools to properly format your citations.

With a Noodle Tools account, once you create bibliographies you can easily organize your research with note cards, outline your papers, and integrate with Google docs.
