Deadlines: Creation of a wiki and very broad overview: Due Oct 3rd. In addition to the previous deadline; incorporation of Greeks, a broad overview, and you've started Dalton: Oct. 8th. In addition to the previous deadline; completetion of Dalton, Turner, and all necessary world events: Oct 12th. In addition to the previous deadline: inclusion of at least 1 piece of Honors Art student work, inclusion of scientists up to Rutherford: Oct 15. In addition to the previous deadline: inclusion of at least a total of 2 pieces of Honors Art student work, inclusion of all major scientists: October 19th. Completetion of the project: Due Oct. 22nd.

Here are your instructions for the overall project. Here are some general instructions to get you started: 1. Click on the link below for your class. 2. When that page loads click "Edit this page" and following the format setup by Dr. Reich in class type out the name of your time line. 3. After you have typed the name of your time line highlight the whole name with the mouse and then click on the link above in the blue bubble that looks like the earth and a chain link. 4. A little box should pop up and will start a new page on the wiki that will be dedicated to your project. 5. Click ok in the pop up box. 6. Click save. 7. You are now ready to edit your own wiki.

The most common thing that you will have to do on your own wiki is insert an image file. To do this you follow these steps. 1. Find the image that you want and save it to your hard drive as a .jpeg, .tiff, .giff, .bmp or any other standard image file. 1a. Make sure you copy or write down the address of where you got the picture from. Unless you use a picture that you drew you have to report where you got the picture from. 2. On your own wiki page click the "Edit this Page" button. 3. In the blue bubble you should see a little picture of a tree. Click this icon. 4. A menu pops up. There is a place that asks if you want to upload a file. 5. Click on browse, and find the file where ever you saved it on your hard drive. 6. Once you find the file you want highlight it and then click ok. 7. Click upload and wait a few seconds. The time it takes to upload your file depends on the image size and your upload connection speed. 8. Once the image has uploaded you should see a thumbnail (small picture) of the image in that box. 9. Put the curser on the screen where you want the picture to go, and then double click on the thumbnail. 10. Click on the save button and check out the picture you just uploaded to your wiki! 11. Click "Edit this Page" again, and type "This picture from" and then type in the web address of where the link came from. If the address you wrote down does not include a "http://" then you will want to create a link to their external website. 12. To make a link to an external website please follow the "create a link to an external website" instructions.

Some people have already started putting external links into their presentations. To do this you follow these steps: 1. Copy the URL of the site that you want to link to (it's control C on a PC, or you can right click and select copy). 1. Write the text that you want to use as the hyper-link text. 2. Highlight that text with your mouse. 3. Click on the earth and chain link button in the blue bubble at the top of the screen (just like what you did to get your project started. 4. When the window pops up click in the circle next to external link. 5. Paste the URL info that you had copied earlier into the window next to "external link." 6. Hit ok. 7. You should probably hit save now and check out if your link worked.

How to draw a line across the page. 1. Click "Edit this Page" 2. Line up your curser where you want the line to be 3. In the blue box next to the bullet icon is a line icon. Click that. Get a line.

F.A.Q.

1. Dr. Reich... when we are trying to put scientists into different time catagories it's been tricky to know where to put some of them because of how long they lived. I'm not sure if I should base it on when they were born or when they died. What's should I do?

Great question! You should do neither of those. The most important piece for the time line is the years that they contributed their theories to chemistry. So, find the major dates of their discoveries and then group them according to that.
