CP+Chemistry+Summer+Research+Experience


 * Your Summer Research Experience**
 * __Purpose:__** The purpose of this project is to familiarize students with:
 * The wide field of chemistry by exploring its relationship to three of your summer experiences through a short writing assignment where you will describe each experience and its relationship or connection to chemistry.
 * Chemistry's connections to the real world and you
 * Fellow classmates and their summer experiences by reading, evaluating using the given rubric, and discussing/commenting on their Summer Research Experiences and which one relates best to chemistry using your understanding of chemistry so far.

__**Learning Targets:**__

Relate three activities/experiences you did this summer to chemistry. Start by identifying what your three favorite activities/experiences were this summer and then relate them to chemistry. __Chemistry-__ Is the study of matter and the changes it undergoes. __Matter-__ Is anything that has mass and volume (i.e. takes up space).

After you have chosen your three favorite summer activities, post a short description of each activity (including the where, what, who, when, and why of each), and two possible connections to how each experience relates to chemistry using the definition listed below. Include an image for at least one of the activities you have discussed.

The following rubric will be used to assess and evaluate each student's posting:

After you have posted your response, review and evaluate the postings of five other students from your class and using the rubric. For each of the five students you have evaluated, comment on which of their three activities you think relates best to chemistry supporting your thoughts with what you have learned about chemistry so far in this course.
