Description Paper Topic and Sources (Due Sunday 12/26 night) & Paper Outline (Due 12/30 night) & Final Paper (Due 1/5 night) The first major assignment for the paper is picking a paper topic (the paper product is a product or family of products). Pick a product that interests you and where you can find a source on chemistry role in the product and one impact of the product on society. For example, solar panels is a broad topic. One might pick a single chemical used in solar panels (cadmium telluride) and a single impact on society (toxic waste from solar panel production). One would not want to list every impact of solar panels or every chemical used to make them. Fewer topics gives more space for details. You only have 450 words for each section. Below is some information about the paper that I hope will help you pick a topic. You will give your topic and about two sentences each on the introduction, the chemistry section, and the society section. You will also provide 3 sources (just web links are fine). Be aware that the chemistry and society sections are required for the paper. So as you pick a topic, think about how you will complete each section. ** Paper Topic We are expecting you to select a paper topic and at least 3 sources that will ultimately lead to an approximately 1300 word paper. The paper topic should be a product (something one can buy or make). A family of products is completely fine as well (golf balls as opposed to Titleist Velocity golf balls). The sections to address in your paper topic post are the Introduction, Chemistry’s Role in Your Product and Your Product and Society.
