= = = = Chemical Reactions Project Outline: To enhance your understanding of the different chemical reaction types, students along with partners will collectively build upon separate wiki sites using the five chemical reaction types discussed in class: Decomposition, Synthesis, Single Replacement, Double Replacement, and Combustion. By the end of the project each student will have produced at least one component of each station. This is an individual project even though you will be working together and building upon other students work. Final sites will be evaluated by the teacher and by peers. General Directions: Note: When constructing the daily assignments, imagine that the people that will be looking at this site do not know anything about the reaction type. It is your job to present the information so that it is clear and anybody viewing this webpage would understand. Your published work reflects on you. Grading Breakdown Requirements: Completion of all stations 25 points Correct Peer Evaluation of assigned reaction category 25 points Teacher Evaluation of individual stations 50 points Total 100 points
 * 1) At the beginning of the first day, you will be placed at a station assigned with a chemical reaction.
 * 1) A handout with directions will be given on how to complete the assignment for the day.
 * 1) Each successive day, you will rotate to different chemical reaction types (stations) and obtain a new set of directions at that station.
 * 1)  You will build upon the information that was compiled by students assigned to that station on the previous days.
 * 1) For example: If you did decomposition reactions the first day, you will rotate to single replacement reactions the second day.
 * 1) All students assigned to the same station on the same day will complete all tasks individually.
 * 1) Completing the daily assignment/station is very important because the final site will be evaluated, and other students will be building off of your work for the reaction type.
 * 1) Only work on the wiki page will be evaluated. Any other work is considered incomplete and can’t be evaluated by the students or the teacher.
 * 1) 2 days will be given to make-up a missed station after the final peer evaluation day. Final evaluation by the teacher is Friday, April 24, 2009. You have until 3.15 p.m. of that day to have the missed station(s) completed and submitted to the wiki page.
