=Welcome to the ChemPhys WIKI =

 The WIKI pages at this website will be used throughout the year by our ChemPhys 173 and 273 physics students to support project work in the physics portion of ChemPhys. Project descriptions will appear in the space below when a project begins. Read all descriptions, follow all directions and click on the provided links to access the pages where your contribution is made.

As you contribute to these pages, keep in mind that you are writing for more than an audience of one. Your teacher is not the only person who will read what you write. Your contribution is appearing on a World Wide Web page. You are writing for a much larger audience than one. Take pride in your work and give it your best.

=ChemPhys 173 - Flickr Physics Finds - Part 1 =

Your objective is to find a photo on Flickr that illustrates a concept discussed during the first quarter of the course. You will then embed the photo in your WIKI contribution and include a discussion of the physics concept that it illustrates. Your discussion will be included on a separate WIKI page. Visit the Flickr Physics Finds WIKI page.

More extensive directions for completing your project are available elsewhere.

=ChemPhys 273 Research Project =

There are three phases of the ChemPhys 273 Research Project. During three phases of the project, students will contribute to the WIKI by suggesting ideas for projects, writing summaries of useful websites, and suggesting ideas for future studies which future classes might find useful.

==**Initial Brainstorming ** ==

In the initial stages of the project, ChemPhys students will list and describe their ideas for a project proposal. Students should review the WIKI periodically to make contributions, read of other students ideas and to provide feedback regarding those ideas. Each individual is required to describe a unique idea for a project and to make at least one suggestion for another ChemPhys student. This is the minimum requirement.

 Visit and contribute to the Initial Brainstorming WIKI page.

==**Cataloging Information-Rich Websites ** ==

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">After having conducted the literature survey, each project group is required to identify three websites which were invaluable during the literature research phase of the project. The URL and a short description of the site's value should be recorded in the WIKI. Your contribution will serve students in future years. Three websites is the minimum requirement.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">As the project is coming to an end, each project group must make a final contribution to the WIKI by suggesting extensions and improvements to their project. Topics for further study and suggestions for conducting the study differently should be described. The equivalent of a page-worth of discussion should be provided for this entry. Your contribution will reflect upon your own understanding and serve students in future years.
