You must make several wiki pages which are linked to your portfolio page. These pages must each be named with your name first for each page. You must include the information you discovered when you researched your element. Your finished wiki site must include the following:

Title on First Research Page title should have the name of your atom, your name and class. This must be on the first page

Table of Contents: Must be on the same page as the title and author, listing the pages which contain the interesting stuff you've discovered, with links to the appropriate page. EXAMPLE


 * Basic Information:** This is the information you must research and find out.
