Mastery Club Challenges

 

 

This is an activity for students who are interested in going above and beyond the normal classroom expectations.


All you have to do is learn all about the topic on your own.
You might want to head off to the library or just click on the links below.
Find the answers, write them down neatly, STUDY, drop your answer in our Mastery Club box and be ready for a very short oral quiz.

You can become a 1-star member all the way up to an 80-star member! 

Once you have earned 15 stars you will be entered into the Mastery Club Hall of Fame!

Please let me know if you come across "dead" links (links that do not take you to an existing website).


Good Luck and have fun!

A special thanks goes to Mrs. Renz from Redmond, Oregon
