Final Research Project: Overview
This project will be a multi-week group effort to research and present original work on one of the following topics. Research topics are intentionally broad, and research must pertain to at least 3 areas of study from our course thus far, and must go beyond the scope of the class in at least 1 area. Presentations should be 10-15 minutes long, and can be in the form of a PowerPoint presentation, a Prezi, a chalkboard lecture, poster session (or others--if you have an idea, come talk to me!). There will be ample time to do research in class, but you should be working with your group outside of class as well. Requirements for the project are:
1. Abstract, written within the first week of starting research as a group DUE Friday February 9th 3:00 pm
2. In class meeting with Ms. Lee to discuss research and progress
3. Out of class check-in with Ms. Lee to discuss research and progress
4. Properly cited and researched final project, with hard copy or link to presentation turned into Ms. Lee
5. Updated/revised abstract and bibliography turned in with project
6. Logical, compelling, informative, and well-rehearsed presentation 10-15 min in length
7. Reflection on the group’s process/team work and the project as a whole
Topics and some initial research questions are below:
Ocean Chemistry
Biological Chemistry
Agricultural Chemistry
Chemistry of Climate Change
