PROJECT
To enable students to acquire knowledge and skills in chemistry using ICT as well as to develop softskill.
SUGGESTED TOPICS
FOOD DYE IN COLOURED FOOD NITRITE IN CANNED FOOD VITAMIN C (ASCORBIC ACID) IN FRUIT JUICE BENZOIC ACID IN FOOD OTHER POSSIBLE CONTAMINANTS/ ADDITIVES IN CONSUMER PRODUCTS .
PROCEDURE
Students are divided into groups of 3 or 4 and headed by a leader. The group identify a research topic that is relevant to the theme. Students should set research objectives, working plan and techniques to be carried out. They are encourage to use available apparatus and instruments. Student should consult and obtained approval from their teacher before carrying out the research. Students should keep a log book of their research activities and document all observations, data analysis and result.
PROCEDURE
In carrying out their research, students are also encouraged to gather, process and present information to describe and explain evidence for the need to monitor levels of contaminants/ additives in consumer products. Information gathered can be from interview, survey and official sources. Students should state the conclusions and references used.
