Week 8 Homework 11-7-19

1. Presentation Signup

Click HERE to sign up for the scientist you’ll do a presentation on.

Presentations will be given on Nov 21 and Dec 5.

Assignment Guidelines

1. Your presentation MUST be less than five minutes.
2. Find a creative way to share information about your scientist. Some examples include:
   • A top ten list of cool facts.
   • A diorama
   • A poster of the person’s brain with imaginary divisions of what they think about
   • Objects that represent important things to that scientist
   • A commercial about something important that scientist invented or discovered
   • A wacky true/false test with funny options paired with true options

These are only a few of the creative ideas you could do. As long as we learn a little about the scientist AND it’s less than five minutes, the sky is the limit.
