reports.
Make a tri-fold pamphlet using either MS Word, MS Publisher or another
publishing software you know. Making a pamphlet on Publisher is easier than
in Word. For the link to instructions on how to do it in Word see my links
page "How to make a pamphlet in MS Word". You can also do your own search on
the internet for additional instructions or the "Help" section of Word.
Have one section of the pamphlet for the scientist's life, another for his
works accomplished.
Try to explain these briefly in your own words. Make it fun and
interesting!
You have all period to accomplish this. If you print to the class your
pamphlet will be in color and look nicer than in black and white.

THE BEGINNING OF THE PERIOD! YOU WILL GET EXTRA CREDIT IF IT IS NICE AND
TURNED IN AT THE END OF THE PERIOD ON THURSDAY!! Have fun learning!
