Adopt an Element

Project Information

For this project, you will choose an element to research.  You may use any books plus the websites listed to the right of this page.  Once you have all of your information, you will then create an "advertisement" for that element, including any relevant artwork and a poem or song.

Trying to find out how humans get your chosen element into its pure form?

Look for phrases like "obtained from," or "isolated from." There will be
1 or 2 compounds (usually minerals) that are then broken down into its respective elements!
