What is Team Pow?
Team Pow is a team that was created to help Ms. Imes' students learn new "stuff" by researching things in books and on the Internet. The "Pow" stands for power, which is part of a phrase "Knowledge is Power", a phrase Ms. Imes uses quite frequently in the classroom.
How do I join?
Joining Team Pow is simple. All you have to do is answer one or more of the questions at the bottom of this page and give your answer(s) to Ms. Imes, either in class or by e-mail. Earn points for each correct answer and get your name listed on the Team Pow Scoreboard. The more questions you answer correctly, the more points you earn. Ms. Imes' student with the most points at the end of each quarter wins a cool prize!
|
How do I find the answers?
Any way you want -- books, encyclopedias, the Internet, Mom or Dad, or a really smart friend. Just a hint, Ms. Imes finds all of her answers on the Internet.
|
Do I have to answer all of the questions?
No. You may answer as many questions as you wish, and you may answer them separately. Just remember, your first answer is the only answer that can earn you points for each question.
|
How long do I have to answer the questions?
Each set of questions will remain on the Team Pow page for at least two weeks. You can only earn points for questions that are currently listed on this page.
Good luck! Remember to check the spelling of your answers.
Misspelled answers will not receive points.
