Scientist Scrapbook Project

 

THIS PROJECT IS DUE ON April 16.  IT MUST BE TURNED IN AT THE BEGINNING OF THE CLASS WHEN THE TEACHER ASKS FOR IT.  ANY REPORT NOT TURNED IN AT THIS TIME WILL BE GIVEN A ZERO.  THE PROJECT MAY BE TURNED IN ANYTIME BEFORE THIS DATE.

 

Directions: 

Make a scrapbook which will represent the life’s work of a scientist.  This scrapbook will be graded according to the following criteria:

 

40 points: research in library and computer lab.  You will receive 10 points for each day we do research.  If you are working you get the full points, if you are not working I will take points away.  This will not be included on the grading rubric… it will be added directly into my gradebook.

 

8 points:  a cover sheet containing your name, the due date, class period,   

                  scientist name.

 

120 points: Use at least 5 facts from the scientist’s personal life and 7 from his/her scientific endeavors to make 12 artifacts (pages).  Each artifact is worth 10 points.  An explanation of the artifact must be present below each artifact.  You may only have one of each type of artifact.

 

Personal Life artifacts:  These are things from your scientist’s personal life.  Some possibilities for this section are listed.

 

 

Scientific Endeavor artifacts:

 

 

These are just examples. Use your imagination to come up with artifacts for your scrapbook! The facts must be true and accurate.

 

 

72 points: The fact sheet must be attached at the end of the scrapbook.  This must be neat.  You must have at least three sources. You must cite your sources correctly using MLA style.  Have fun!

 

I am including the grading rubric for you to see.
