Scientists(Point of View Guide)

• For this topic we will discuss the lives of many
  scientists who have had a major impact on the
  field of Chemistry particularly atoms. For
  this activity, you will be taking on the identity
  of one scientist. You will first provide written
  responses to the prompts listed on your Point of
  View Guide sheet to help you become familiar
  with who you are. Once you respond to the
  questions (and possibly do some additional
  research), your group must prepare a presentation
  that describes the scientists life and any
  significant discoveries he has made. During your
  presentation the class will have an opportunity
  to ask you questions as if you are the scientist
  therefore, you must be well prepared and
  knowledgeable about who, you are. You will be
  provided with additional information to assist
  you for your presentation.
