I may assign an element to a specific student, and provide them

resources to conduct their research such as an article or video.

Closing/Student Reflection/Real-life connections:

How will students summarize and state the significance of what they
learned? Why will students be engaged?

Based off of the element the student has chosen, they will conduct a two paragraph essay on how that atomic element is relevant within life in 2019.
