This Morning's Independent Inquiry Presentations
Nicole became interested in a news report about UPS trucks making only right turns to save time and gas. She tested this theory with her mom, and sure enough, it took them less time and less gas when they made only right turns. For her presentation, Nicole created a news show desk and acted out three characters: a news anchor, a reporter, and a mad scientist. What a creative idea!
Alex presented on the current event of the floods in Australia. He shared this interesting, yet shocking video:
Molly also presented on a current event: the earthquake in Haiti. She shared some shocking information about the tragedy and how it was worsened by the weak building structures. Molly also shared some positive efforts volunteer groups are making to help the people in Haiti.
