Chemicals are used for cleaning, washing and disinfecting but are these chemicals safe for use in our homes? In 2006, the American Association of Poison Control Centers reported 214,091 calls associated with household cleaning products, the number 3 category on its list of the top 25 compounds frequently involved in human exposures. Some of these call outs were to hospitals, schools and hotels. It is a dangerous perception among the general public that general household chemicals are not dangerous. There are numerous hospital cases of people inadvertently mixing household chemicals and creating dangerous reactions injuring themselves and putting others at risk. Task: Answer the question- Are all household chemicals safe? Does the average household have enough chemical knowledge to use them safely? You may want to: · Research the chemicals in your own home and some friends homes. · Conduct a survey of your friends/parents on how much they know of common cleaning products · Look up the MSDS for common cleaning products · Research common injuries from cleaning products Target Audience: A Year 12 science student who couldn’t fit Chemistry on their timetable. Remember this is a chemistry assignment and you should answer the task using chemistry concepts such as acids and bases and equilibrium reactions Format: Your report should be written as an expository essay. Length: 1000 – 1500 words (anything over this limit will not be read!) How to write an Expository/ Persuasive Essay Definition: An expository essay is a formal piece of writing exposing the author’s point of view. Its purpose is to inform and persuade the reader on an issue. Suggested Format: Follow the TEEEL structure. Each body paragraph should have the following: T- Topic Sentence E- Explanation E- Evidence E- Elaboration L- Link to thesis/ research question. The body should have one paragraph per main idea. Format: A suggested paragraph format is provided below: 1) Introduction. Thesis (writer’s opinion). 2) First argument with supporting evidence*. 3) Second argument with supporting evidence*. 4)Third argument with supporting evidence*. (and so on…) 5)Conclusion: Review the arguments and restate thesis. 6)References. 7)Appendices (if needed) (may contain information relevant to discussion, may include handwritten calculations). * This is a Chemistry assignment so your evidence will be about Chemistry concepts. See Marking Criteria sheet for more information. Referencing: · Should be APA style. · You should use in-text referencing and include a reference list at the end of your essay. · For an essay of this length you should be aim for 12-20 references at least. · Do you not add a reference to your reference list that you have not in-text referenced. Student Ownership: It is expected that your submitted report is your individual work. It should not resemble any other student’s, even if you worked with that student to gather data. Further, any ideas that are not your own must be acknowledged – this is the point of referencing. Requirements for students to reference their work form part of the strategies for authentication. To pass off someone else’s work as your own is the height of academic dishonesty and will lead to severe consequences if detected. Authentication of student work: · Students submit pre-submission one week prior to due date. · Students submit both pre-submission and final to Turnitin. Draft Only one draft can be submitted for feedback. Draft should be handed in no later than Monday Feb 26 for adequate feedback.
