Interactive Knowledge Day

Today will be all about supporting what we have learned so far this week. This will help the students to really interact and relate the knowledge taught in class to their personal life.  These activities will cause the students to use more critical thinking methods to find the answers and to solidify thier knowledge of the content already taught.  Use these links in class or at home to help test your childs knowledge about renewable and non renewable resources.  These activities will also help them get ready for their upcomining solar oven project as well.
