<span style="color: #1ec46b; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 140%;"> STEP 1 -You will visit the following website to see how many comic book heroes derived their super powers or their weaknesses from an element in the periodic table. <span style="color: #1ec46b; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 140%;"> [|Comic Book Periodic Table].

<span style="color: #1ec46b; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 140%;"> Click on an element in this table and see full, referenced comic book pages and covers involving that element. See how comic book heroes have been influenced by chemistry. Make sure you write down any ideas that come to you in order to create your own super hero or heroine. List your ideas on the handout you may download above. <span style="color: #1ec46b; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 140%;"> STEP 2 - Pick an Element from the Periodic table you would like to highlight. Go to this link to find out more about the table of elements and choose your preferred element. Go to the website, [|Chemical Elements] an up-to-date periodic table created especially for K-12 students: Write your Preferred Element and explain why? (10 Points)

<span style="color: #1ec46b; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 140%;"> STEP 3 - Name your hero/heroine according to your chosen element. Think about the sign of the element, the electrons it possesses, and other properties. Be creative! (20 points)
