Due to the new structure of grading all assignments for correctness, regular extra-credit projects will be offered to make up missed points. Technology assignments must be submitted electronically so that they can be shared on the classroom computer. These projects must be completed by the specified due date. Do not wait until the end of the semester and ask for extra credit. You need to be doing it now!

Chemistry ECP 0 – Monday Morning Review sessions with Mrs. Mangerino. Every Monday at ECP 1 – PowerPoint illustration of a chemical reaction. Slide 1: Title; Slide 2: description of where the reaction is found, balanced chemical equation; Slide 3: stoichiometry problem related to reaction. See sample in class. Due: Feb. 18 (extended to Feb 25) ECP 2 – illustrated biography on gas law scientist. Who
were Charles, Boyle, Graham, ECP 3 – book review on Uncle Tungsten: Memories of a Chemical Boyhood by Oliver Sach. Read the entire book and write a book review that could appear in the LA Time Books Section. An Nackte Frauen excellent project would look like a page from the newspaper: large paper, columned format, illustrations/graphics, more than one article.
