USES OF ASYNCHRONOUS,

SYNCHRONOUS, AND

BLENDED TECHNOLOGY IN

CLASS

Design an artistic representation of your element, including

properties that represent that element.

Using research developed outside of class you will work with

your partners in order to develop a digital and physical

representation of said element.

You will be expected to incorporate the techniques you have

been learning in art and technology.

You will be graded based on the general MYP Rubric,

clarification will be discussed in class. Each class will assign

a specific grade and criteria.

PROJECT EXPECTATIONS

Examples of physical copies are attached, as well as tools to use in Photoshop

Choose an Element from the periodic table.

Conduct research in the next 2 weeks to understand the

properties of your element.

Focus on unique aspects

Take notes on these properties

Begin thinking of a way of representing your element

artistically.

OUTLINE

Artistic rendition of your element. (Physical and Digital)

Inclusion of specific properties of that element.

Description of the adaptation and properties.

Basic properties of the element (Symbol, mass, Atomic

number)

REQUIREMENTS

In art they practice and learn shading techniques,

Using photoshop, students will incorporate those

Ideas while learning the ins/outs of photoshop

Ultimately I am requiring the students to turn in 2

representations of their atom.

1. Digital 2. Hand drawn/created

Within their respective classes, art and technology the

students will work with those teachers to create models

following artistic guidelines.

In science they will be graded on the accuracy of their model

and information.

FINAL PRODUCT

Specifically because Cadmium is a main

Ingredient in yellow paint

Not because this represents the element itself

But the discoverer and representation of the given

Name.

To make this a blended activity, the students will be given the

topic idea and project information in class. I myself providing

both a print and digital copy as an example.

In a matter of 2 weeks, they will conduct research outside of

class, to discover dif ferent aspects of their specific elements,

and how they fit together on the scientific periodic table.

Resources will be provided via moodle and googledocs for them to

focus research.

Within our respective classes we will be discussing the

dif ferent styles in which to present their element.

Having them do research outside of class, we can work

together on focusing their research and well as checking the

legitimacy of it while designing their graphic representations.
