MHS Chemistry
Safety Poster Contest
This project was developed in class in November 2004. Topics will be drawn out of a beaker. Each student will make a poster of the appropriate size, to be filled in below. Students will develop a rubric in class. I will type up, copy, and distribute the rubric/score sheet so students can peer-evaluate before the due date. Classes will vote on the submissions for each topic, and the winners will be posted for the next year.
