Extra credit will be available once a nine weeks, and will only count if all other assignments are completed and handed in. After all, "extra" means beyond the expected. Please do exceptional work; you won't get points for just any old thing!
Each element has a story to tell. Pick one element from the periodic table to research. When and where was it discovered? How did the element get its name? What are its properties? What are its uses? Is the element found in any common materials? How is it obtained? Report your findings in the form of a story written from the element's point of view. Include an illustration.
