A Club for Students Interested in Learning
The Young Einstein Club is for students who are interested in being challenged beyond the normal classroom expectations.
What do you have to do?
You can become a 1 star member, all the way up to an 146 star member! Once you have reached 15 stars, you will become an Einstein All-Star Member and your name will be placed on our All-Star Member board and website.
Are you ready for the Einstein Challenge? You can use the internet (If you use the internet, be sure to get your parent's permission first!)or a reference book.
Good Luck!
What do you have to do?
- You must answer the question in your "Einstein Notebook." This notebook is where you will record your answers as you research your challenges. This can be any type of notebook that will keep you organized. If you do not have a notebook, you use paper from class. Each challenge you record should have the challenge number, challenge question, and date by your answer. Write your report using your best handwriting- Neatness counts. I won't accept anything but your best handwriting!
- Once you feel you are ready to answer the Einstein Challenge, see Ms. Williams at an appropriate time to present your answer (recess, lunch, or after school).
- Answer the challenge in front of Ms. Williams without looking at your paper (from memory).
You can become a 1 star member, all the way up to an 146 star member! Once you have reached 15 stars, you will become an Einstein All-Star Member and your name will be placed on our All-Star Member board and website.
Are you ready for the Einstein Challenge? You can use the internet (If you use the internet, be sure to get your parent's permission first!)or a reference book.
Good Luck!
