Week 10 Homework 11-21-19

1. Presentation Signup

Click HERE to see which scientist you signed up for.

The remaining presentations will be given the week after Thanksgiving.

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. If you didn’t turn it in last week, please finish and bring it to turn in.
