Assignment 3: The Presentation
Objective: Develop an audio-narrated PowerPoint presentation based
on the research you have conducted about your chosen
molecule/substance.
Assignment Instructions: Using the course project steps completed
to date, you will develop your presentation based on the work you
submitted for Assignments 1 and 2 as well as the feedback you were
given.
To prepare for this assignment, I recommend that you do the following:
•
•
•
Read these directions carefully.
Review the grading rubric. The grading rubric is a detailed
evaluation that I will use to assess your performance. It will also
help you understand what is expected of you as you prepare your
assignment
Message me with any questions!
Presentation requirements:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Your presentation will be submitted as an audio-narrated
PowerPoint. For instructions on how to create audio narration in
PowerPoint, see the following link: Record a Slide Show With
Narration. Audio narration is a requirement!
There must be a visual element (e.g., photos, videos, graphs,
figures).
Your presentation must contain approximately 10-15 slides
(excluding references) and run approximately 5-10 minutes.
Please note that less than 10% of your presentation should
contain direct quotes.
Proper use and pronunciation of scientific terminology are
required. For help with pronunciation, see this link: Cambridge
Dictionary
Be sure to properly cite your work, both internal to the
presentation as well as within the reference slide (this includes
photos, graphs, figures, videos, etc.).
All references listed on the reference slide should be cited
internally within the presentation, and vice versa.
You will submit this presentation to your classmates to review and
discuss as a part of the Week Eight Forum.
The required elements: Your presentation should contain the
following elements in the order listed below.
In addition, I expect that any feedback provided to you from
Assignment 1: Annotated Bibliography and Assignment 2: The Outline
be incorporated into this assignment. Please go back and review those
comments.
Introduction Slide(s) – ALL
1. Molecule/substance Introduction
1. The common and IUPAC name of your molecule/substance.
Please see this link to help with scientific names if
needed: IUPAC Nomenclature Of Organic Chemistry.
2. Where you can observe your molecule/substance in society
and/or in nature.
3. A brief discussion on why you chose your
molecule/substance.
4. If possible, a picture and/or video of you safely observing
your molecule/substance in the field. If you cannot safely
observe it, please include a couple of images from the
internet.
Description
2. Description
1. You must include a physical description. You can use your
personal observations from photographs. If you cannot
safely observe your molecule/substance, you must research.
▪ Physical Characteristics (appearance, texture, color,
odor, melting point, boiling point, density, solubility,
polarity, etc.)
2. Chemical description: You will need to research the chemical
properties of your compound/molecule)
▪ Chemical Characteristics (stability in air or other
environment, flammability, volatility, etc)
3. Discovery
1. a. Describe the initial discovery of your molecule. Who
discovered the molecule, when, how, etc? Some compounds
are part of a larger substance/plant. If this is the case,
describe the isolation of your specific compound. The
isolation refers to the initial time your molecule/substance
was discovered from its raw materials, or isolated from
its natural resources. Please see here for some hints on
the chemical isolation.
4. Usage and Benefit or Harm to Society
1. Where has your molecule/substance been used. Is it used
regularly or is has it only been used on occasion? If your
compound is one we ingest when eating, include information
on foods it’s commonly found in.
2. Write about the Benefit or Harm to Society Caused by your
molecule/substance. Many compounds can be used as
bioweapons or have both positive and negative impacts.
Other compounds have had benefits as medicines or have
caused harm as illicit narcotics. All of these are good ideas
to start out thinking about, so I’d like you to discuss these
impacts on society, the future, and in any way you can think
they may be beneficial or harmful.
Conclusions – ALL
1. This section must contain:
a. Four to six points that sum up the main topics of the
presentation that you have in your outline
Reference Slide(s) and Internal Citations – ALL
1. This section must contain:
a. Internal citations – This is not just a separate section;
rather, referencing should occur throughout the presentation
via parenthetical citations anytime you paraphrase, make
direct quotes, or use visual components from other sources.
Please be sure to cite any language, images, videos, etc. in
the presentation that should be cited.
b. Reference Slide – Your presentation should also have a final
reference slide listing 5-10 credible sources researched for
your presentation. NOTE: these are not included in the slide
count for your presentation.
c. Do not include your summary/evaluation from Assignment
1: Annotated Bibliography; simply list the references utilized
in your presentation in APA format on the reference slide.
