Polymer+Functions


 * //__WHAT PROPERTIES ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THE FUNCTIONS OF VARIOUS POLYMERS?__ //**
 * STEP ONE **: Your teacher will assign you and your partner a __group letter__. Make sure that you are not sitting next to each other.

**STEP TWO**: Click on your "group (letter)" located to the left of this page. This page belongs ONLY to you and your partner, it will be your official "think tank" and work space. Both of you will use this page to brainstorm, discuss and communicate the properties and functions of the polymer listed below.


 * STEP THREE :** There are two main tasks and you must decide who is going to: Copy and paste information to your homepage OR Create a table on your home page. The teacher will give you directions for both.


 * __1) Copy and paste the blue text from above. Relocate this information to YOUR group home-page.__**

> > 1. Frozen Food Bag > 2. Plastic Food Wrap > 3. Tupperware Container > 4. Non Stick Cookware > 5. Grocery Bags
 * __2) Directions for Table Formation:__**
 * Table should have 4 columns and 6 rows.
 * Column Headings (in this order from left to right): Common Items, Function (use), Properties, Polymer Category
 * Below is a list of "Common Items" to enter into the first column


 * STEP FOUR :** Go to the "discussion" tab located at the top right corner of this page. You and your partner will be given further instruction for creating discussion threads. You can view the sample thread and posting that Mrs. Mohan and Ms. Fuller exchanged (return to Ms. Fuller's Wiki home page) in order to brainstorm the information you read from above. You will share your thoughts and determine the functions and properties related to these functions of the 5 polymer samples listed above. When you and your partner have agreed on the final function and associated properties of the polymer, someone is to post these "FINAL ANSWERS" into the table on your group home page.

Your group will be given a participation grade based on the collaborative efforts used in discussion and the generated table displayed on your homepage. The final due date for this assignment will be Thursday 2-26-09. Do your best to accomplish the goals during classtime today.
