Scientists of the Month

Select up to three of the scientists listed for a particular month and find out what each one did that had an impact on chemistry. Is there a Principle, Theory, Law or element named after this person? Did the scientist receive a Nobel Prize or other important award for his/her work? What was/is the nationality of this scientist and where did this person carry out most of his/her work? Did this person have to overcome any particular adversity as he/she carried out his/her work? Are there any interesting "tidbits" of information about the personal life of this scientist? Use the template here for your report. Insert the information for each section into the document be sure to add your reference(s) at the bottom of the report.
Try to find a picture of the scientist(s) you choose to write about and include it in your report. Instead of simply printing off pages from website or CD-ROM encyclopedias, you should copy and paste the information you wish to include and DOCUMENT everything, including pictures. MS Word is the preferred wordprocessor, but if you use any other kind, then save the document as a .rtf file before you turn it in. Name the file like this: "your initials"-Boyle.doc (or.rtf). Use the usual 1-in margins, single space, left-margin justify all paragraphs and skip a line between paragraphs. Put a title that gives the month for which the scientist is listed along with the scientist's name, and then the year of birth - year of death ( 1868 - 1925 ) for example. Email the assignments to mizsibert@siberts.net.
The three reports for the Scientists of the Month can be turned in any time during that month, from the first day through the last. Since school will be out before June really gets started, those scientists will be done along with the scientists who have April birthdays, July ones with May, and August ones with the September birthdays. The same thing can be done with the December birthdays since ACT classes don meet during intersession. You can do them during November to include in the first trimester grade, or you can do them in January as part of the second trimester grade.
