Making a Chemistry Poster
|
Points
Possible
|
What To Do:
- Create
a poster illustrating or explaining a concept from our current
chapter.
- Keep your poster simple- do not try to include too much
information.
- The poster should be your
original idea to summarize
a chemical concept -- not just a copy of the notes.
 Words of Wisdom :
- If you use an example, make up a your own. Do not
use the same example in the book or from class.
- A poster is graphic. Try to use pictures to
visual illustrate the concept.

All of the following are noted:
- The concepts illustrated in the
poster are chemically accurate
- The poster is the student's original
idea to summarize
a chemical concept -- not just a copy of the notes.
- Proper use of language and spelling
is demonstrated
- Writing and pictures are large enough
to be viewed from a
distance
- Writing and pictures are neat and
clear
- KEEP IT SIMPLE ! -- too much info
ruins a poster

One of the following is
noted:
- There is a minor mistake in the
chemical concept or it is not clearly illustrated
- The poster lacks originality and is
simply a copy of class notes or book
- Use of language is inaccurate
- Writing is too small or complex
- Writing and/or pictures are not
easily readable

Two of the
following are noted:
- The poster is simply a copy of
class notes or book

in the chemical concepts
-
Use of language is inaccurate
- Writing and/or pictures are very not
readable

This
is probably my favorite poster - original, neat, simple, and
visual.
The concepts are clearly illustrated with well chosen pictures
that indicate the author has a good understanding of the meaning of
these terms.

Very neat poster.
Although most of the facts presented here are from class notes,
the author organizes the ideas very well and includes pictures to help
drive
the point home. A few new facts are brought in from outside
sources
that were not in our class notes.
The poster would easily have received 6 points except for an error of a
chemistry
concept. The poster says that acids react with metals to form oxygen,
when
in reality, they form hydrogen.

While this poster is a
nice reminder to have posted in the room, it is simply an exact copy of
something that I
gave in class notes. I cannot give any more points because it
does
not show understanding of any concepts. If the author had made up
their
own example problem and shown how to use this to solve it, they might
have
gotten 6 points.

Again, this is an exact
copy of class notes. Even the examples are the same
examples that I gave in class.
The author should have come up with a way to visually represent
what
happens in each reaction type and made up their own examples to show
that
they understand the concepts.

Here the author shows
every step needed to solve this problem with many explanations.
There is a lot of writing on this poster which makes it a bit
difficult to read. Even
so, this poster would have received 6 points if the example problem
shown
was original. In this case, it was the exact same problem that we
all
did together in class.
