Completing the Culminating Project Final ProductBold text End

Once you have completed all $4$ components of the culminating project you are now ready to create your final product to submit for grading. Your final product consists of two parts: your research tables from each unit and your final presentation. Both are described below:

Bold text startPart $1$: Research Tables:Bold text End You will present what you have learned for each component in the form of a research table. Submit each of the $4$ research tables that you have completed throughout the course.

Bold text startPart $2$: The Final Presentation:Bold text End You can choose to share what you have learned using the method of your choice $-$ one with which you are most comfortable. Incorporate any feedback you have received on the components that you$$ve submitted throughout the course in to your final product.

You will compile all your research from each of the $4$ units into a cohesive presentation. You can choose to share this information in a variety of formats. Choose a method with which you are comfortable. Consider the following ideas:

Write a report that is $800-1,000$ words in length

Design an infographic $($include pictures, statistics, quotations, etc.$)$

Create a video $($less than $10$ minutes in length$)$

Create a slide deck$/$presentation$.$ You could record yourself presenting with it$,$ or write your script in the $$notes$$ section of each slide

Record an audio file $($less than $10$ minutes in length; similar to a podcast or radio show$)$

The sources you used for research also need to be given in a properly formatted bibliography. Fortunately, you will have been citing your sources in APA style already from your research tables.

The following points are required for each component of the culminating project and should be reflected in your final presentation.

Bold text startComponent $1$: A Chemist$$s ContributionBold text End

Biographical background of the chemist

What he$/$she discovered or theorized

How this chemist$$s discoveries or theories are used in today$$s society

Bold text startComponent $2$: Organic Compounds in the WorldBold text End

A brief history of this compound. $($Who discovered it$?$ When was it discovered? How was it discovered?$)$

Describe uses for this compound. Is there anything this compound has been used for historically but is no longer used for that reason?

Are there any dangers associated with this compound? $($Toxicity$,$ environmental pollution, etc.$)$

Give three physical properties and one chemical property of this compound. How do these properties help to make it useful? Do any of these properties add to the ways in which this compound is dangerous $($as described above$)?$

A molecular structure of this compound should be given as well.

Bold text startComponent $3$: Careers in ChemistryBold text End

What chemicals does a person in this career regularly handle?

What information about these chemicals should a person in this career be aware of$?($For example, safe handling and disposal, possible health or environmental hazards, etc.$)$

What components of chemistry is someone in this career required to understand?

What education is required in this career?

Is someone in this career required to take specifically take chemistry courses as a part of their education? If so$,$ what level of chemistry is required? If not, how do they learn the required chemistry that is needed for their career?

Bold text startComponent $4$: Causes and Effects of Environmental PollutionBold text End

What were$/$are the causes of the pollutant?

What short term and long$-$term effects does the pollutant have on the environment?

What short term and long$-$term effects does the pollutant have on human health?

What, if anything, can be done to safeguard human health?

What efforts have been undertaken to address the short term and long$-$term impacts of this pollutant?

Are there any other efforts that can be undertaken to address the short term and long$-$term impacts of this pollutant?

Once you have completed your final presentation, you may submit your final product which will include your $4$ research tables and the final presentation.

Your culminating project will be evaluated according to the rubric below. Before submitting your assessment, review the rubric to ensure that you are meeting the success criteria to the best of your ability.

When you are ready, submit your assessment for feedback and a grade, by selecting the $$Assignment$$ link and follow the submission directions.
