Chemistry Unit Project

Chemistry Unit Project – Science & Technology 11 UPDATED

You will be required to show your knowledge of the following information by creating a video, using pictures and props (or using the SHOW ME app on the iPads).  Your videos will need to be uploaded to YouTube and posted on your blog – you can use your phones or the iPads to create your videos.  We are completing this project instead of writing a unit test – please do your best to show your learning in science & tech so far this semester!  It is due at the end of class on Friday - we have 3 class blocks to complete the assignment and upload your videos.

IF YOU ARE USING THE SHOWME APP - MAKE AN ACCOUNT AND FIND THE URL OF THE PROJECTS THAT YOU ARE CREATING (GO TO SHARE VIA TWITTER)... POST THE URL TO YOUR BLOG.
