CHE 125 American Military University The Birth of the Post it Note Cae Study There are two parts to this assignment and the entire assignment is worth 20 points.

Look at the list of A Chemist Looks at… options from your chapter listed in the next slide. You will choose 1 of the topics to write about. You will reflect on the topic and write about the information. (5 pts each)

Part 1 – Read the A Chemist Looks at… section and answer the questions.

General questions that need to be answered in each:

What is the issue? Explain.
What is the chemistry?
What is happening? How could it be stopped/changed? Where is it happening?
What is your opinion? (If relevant)

Part 2 – Now you will take it further by researching related items in the news, in history, or wherever you find it. (Part 2) You are looking for thought provoking extensions of these topics. (15 points)

In this section you will:

Report your related topic/information fully.
Further investigate the chemistry, if appropriate.
Explain how it is related to the original topic.
What makes it thought provoking? What makes it interesting/concerning?
It makes it easier to write and read if you include headings for each section. Many of these were used in the attached example:
Most Recent Review
The chemistry in more detail
How did we get here?
History of the topic – older history, more recent history?
How effective is it?
Is it bad or good? Why is there still controversy? Here is the other side…
Is there a possible solution?
What do I think?
You may copy a section of specific data/information to further your point. (In the example, that is the list near the end In “Is it bad or good? Why is there still controversy…” titled 50 Reasons to Oppose Fluoridation)
Include all sources to your related topic. These may be included in embedded hyperlinks, if desired.
