Click HERE to see which scientist you signed up for.

Presentations will be given NEXT WEEK and the week after Thanksgiving. When you present will be randomly drawn — so everyone needs to be ready this coming Thursday.

Presentation 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.

Remember: You also have to write a paragraph about your scientist and turn it in. See below for details.
