Extra Credit

Extra Credit Information You may turn in one  extra credit assignment per trimester.
They are each worth 5 points.


      The extra credit should be completed during the trimester in which you would like to receive credit.

     The extra credit should be turned into the extra credit/late work tray in the homework tent.
 
Field Trip
 
     You may visit a science museum, zoo, aquarium, museum of flight, nature center, complete a workshop/camp or engage in other educational activities of this sort and write about your experience.  Write a paragraph on where you went, what you learned, and what you liked most.
 
Millionaire Game
 
     You may visit Jefferson's Lab and win the Who Wants to be a Millionaire Game.  If you win print out the screen that says, "You Won", put a heading on the paper and have a guardian sign the paper.  It is pretty tough (especially at the end), but keep trying and you will win eventually. 
 Mini-Research topics You may research and write a paragraph on the following topics. 

Trimester 1: Galileo Galilee
Trimester 2: Red-shift/Blue shift (Hint: Waves)
Trimester 3: Formicary (Hint: Insects)

The paragraph should be in your own words.
