Will count as a test grade!!!!
Group (4 members maximum)
Prepare a creative presentation to help the class better understand how the scientist credited for contributing to

Methods of presenting can be skits, commercials, interviews, etc Presentations are to be a video format and
submitted on Canvas.
Make a time-line on a poster.
In addition, each group member will complete the following:
On a separate 8.5 x 11 inch lineless paper, hand drawn diagram a fluorine atom. Include and label electrons,
