Happy Holidays!!!! You're not bored yet are you???

Hi everyone! I just want to again say Happy Holidays and I hope the days off that you've had so far have been fun and relaxing.

In case you are bored (I know -- ha ha!), I just want to remind you that you could be using some of this time off to work on your Science portion of your exhibition. You need the following things for Science:
  • Animals -- Find 3 animals that live in your country. For each one, you need to have a picture (make it as big as half a page). At the bottom of the page with the picture, give a brief description of the animal -- unique characteristics, what it eats, where they can be found, etc.
  • Plants/Flowers -- Find 3 plants or flowers that are native to your country. As with animals, you need to show a picture of the plant or flower and give a brief description of the flower -- where in the country it can be found, any specific things the flower is used for -- anything interesting you find.
  • General weather/climate -- You will be expected to have a brief description (about 1/2 page typed) regarding the overall weather (called climate) of your country. Usually if you search for "climate in __________" (insert your country in the blank) you will find it. Remember, everything must be written in your own words.
If you are out and about over break, you might also want to find a binder and more page protectors for your project.

Also, if you have any difficulty finding information regarding the plants and/or animals you found for your country, try searching for the specific name itself. For example, if you know that a common flower in India is a "lotus" but your website didn't give any information on the lotus, then you can go to google and search "information on a lotus flower" and you should get something then. If you have any questions on how to find information for your country, let me know by commenting on this post and I will try to help!

Again, Happy Holidays everyone!

PS -- For those of you with Math homework, don't forget to be working on it!
