=It's An Elemental Mystery Podcasts=

I. Instructions:

We will continue our review of atomic structure by developing podcasts. You and 2 friends will develop a poem, song, rap, story, radio show, commercial, public service announcement, riddle, etc. that will be recorded using Audacity as a sound file. Open Lines: "This podcast is brought to you by CAScience 7 for the project "Its an Elemental Mystery. Our names are: first name, first name, and first name..." -Your sound file should be 1 min. 30 sec. long. It may not be more than two minutes long or shorter than 1:30. - In this audio file, you must never mention the name of the element as the goal is to get the listener to try to figure out what element it is... - You can create your own music with a musical instrument or through rap, and singing but we will not be using any other music for this short file. - Here are some possibilities of information that you might include. Items in italics MUST be a part of your audio file. Make sure that when you do your research that you are checking your research in at least two different reputable places... ~First your group should choose an element, only tell Ms. Todd your element's name. 1. the atomic mass 2. //the number of neutrons// 3. //information about the arrangement of electrons around the nucleus (if your element is #1-#18)// 4. interesting facts about the element 5. //the family that it belongs to// 6. //whether it is a metal or non-metal// 7. it's state at room temperature 8. other qualitative or quantitative information about the element - At the end of the audio file you should ask, something to the effect of, "so what element is it?" You will be evaluated on the following: 1. CREATIVITY 2. FOLLOWING THE GUIDELINES ABOVE 3. PEER EVALUATION

Recording our podcasts... Make sure to enunciate clearly! [|This is part of the grading rubric (click here).] 1.) Follow Ms. Todd's guidance regarding using Audacity...set the sound level at -12 db! 2.) Name your final file: period#group# upon export as an .mp3 file. You can get your group number from Ms. Todd. 3.) Copy your file onto Ms. Todd's flash drive!
 * Print out your script to Rm. 206's printer and hand into Ms. Todd with all group members names on it!
