Introduction
Chemistry
The science that deals with the composition and properties of subtances and various elementary forms of matter.Chemistry is the scientific study of matter, its properties, composition, structure, and the changes it undergoes during chemical reactions. It is a fundamental branch of science that helps us understand the world around us at the molecular level. Chemistry explores the properties of substances, how they interact with each other, and the energy changes that accompany these interactions. Chemistry is divided into several sub-disciplines, including organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, analytical chemistry, and biochemistry. These subfields focus on different aspects of matter and its behavior. In essence, chemistry is crucial for various scientific disciplines and industries as it provides the foundation for understanding the composition of substances, creating new materials, developing drugs, designing environmentally-friendly processes, and much more. It plays a significant role in advancing technology, medicine, agriculture, and environmental studies.
Task
The task may be daunting at first, built will sharpen your research and hypothesis making skills. It will also open your eyes to may reliable sources for science(Chemistry) online, as well as let you build team building skills wile you work with your peers (group of 3).
Your goal will be to research a topic of your choice (related to chemistry). This topic should have to do with a promblem that is chemistry related or either a study being done related to chemistry.Then set up a hypothetical hypothesis and experiment regarding your topic.From this your ultimate goal should be to "solve" the problem or "conclude"the study.
Process
1. Divide into Groups
2.Select a topic from any numerous research topics. Use these periodicals for the most updated information (feel free to get other periodicals approved by the teacher for use.) Then summarize the topic in your groups own word.
3. Create a Hypothesis (a proposition assumed as a premise in an argument.
4. Create support for the hypothesis by either using your textbook or researching on the internet. try infohio.org (or any other state wide funded educational site.
5. Use the following site to set up a report.

This lab report should be set up as hypothetical. (That is if the experiment would come into play.)No need to create any graphs. The conclusion in the report should only be hypothetical and based off your research.

CATEGORY 4
- Idea
(4) Independently identified a question which was interesting to the student and which could be investigated.
(3) Identified, with adult help, a question which was interesting to the student and which could be investigated.
(2) Identified, with adult help, a question which could be investigated.
(1) Identified a question that could not be tested/investigated or one that did not merit investigation.
- Description of Procedure
(4) Procedures were outlined in a step-by-step fashion that could be followed by anyone without additional explanations. No adult help was needed to accomplish this.
(3) Procedures were outlined in a step-by-step fashion that could be followed by anyone without additional explanations. Some adult help was needed to accomplish this.
(2) Procedures were outlined in a step-by-step fashion, but had 1 or 2 gaps that require explanation even after adult feedback had been given.
(1)Procedures that were outlined were seriously incomplete or not sequential, even after adult feedback had been given.
- Hypothesis Development
(4) Independently developed an hypothesis well- substantiated by a literature review and observation of similar phenomena.
(3) Independently developed an hypothesis somewhat substantiated by a literature review and observation of similar phenomena.
(2) Independently developed an hypothesis somewhat substantiated by a literature review or observation of similar phenomena.
(1) Needed adult assistance to develop an hypothesis or to do a basic literature review.
- Research
(4) Follows all digital citizenship guidelines while researching an experiment topic/project 3
(3)Somewhat follows all digital citizenship guidelines while researching an experiment topic/project
(2) Digital citizenship was ineptly followed
(1) Digital citizenship not taken into consideration
Conclusion
Conclusion
I hope you all enjoyed this project and learn a little bit out of science in the world around us. At this time (the teacher) will select the best lab report and present those students will awarded an extra bonus points.
Maybe in the future you will be able use this knowledge from this hypothetical experiment/Project to create a real experiment and truly impact the chemistry community.
