Hooray!  You did such a good job on the first glogster assignment, your teachers have decided to give you another one.

Each student will be given ONE element from the periodic table.  Your task is to produce a glogster poster with information about that element.  The kinds of things to include are:

atomic structure, mass number, uses, reactivity, state, colour, etc

Remember to include pictures and images as well as text.

We will put up your posters in the shape of the periodic table outside room 1090/1091.  We’ll use the same rubric as last time to assess this.

You will have class time on Tuesday 1st September for this, and must submit it no later than Thursday 3rd September.  Here is a link you might find useful.

You are in the process of writing up a lab report on demonstrating absorption and digestion.  Block B students have already had a lesson on this and are due to submit their final version to me, either electronically or on paper, by THURSDAY 27th AUGUST.  Block F students have until FRIDAY 28th AUGUST (We will spend next Tuesday on this so don’t panic!).  Please make sure you see me during tutorials if you need help.  Our next unit will be on the transport system (the heart, blood and blood vessels), so read your textbook if you want to get a head start on this.
