What is Club Einstein?


Club Einstein is "learning" club that was created to help Mrs. Cowan's students learn new "stuff" by researching things in books and on the Internet.  

How do I join?


All you have to do is answer one or more of the questions to the right and give your answer(s) to Mrs. Cowan, either in class or by e-mail in order to become a member.  Earn points for each correct answer and get your name listed on the Club Einstein Scoreboard.  The more questions you answer correctly, the more points you earn.  Mrs. Cowan's student with the most points at the end of each nine weeks wins a cool prize from one of the "MANY" treasure boxes that can be found in our classroom!  

Do I have to answer all of the questions?


You are not required to answer all of the questions. You may answer as many questions as you wish from as few as one to all of them.   Just remember, your first answer is the only answer that can earn you points for each question.  You will not be permitted to change your answer once it has been submitted so take your time to research each question.

How do I find the answers?


You can look for the answers in books, encyclopedias, your textbooks, and on the Internet. You can also find the answers by asking Mom, Dad or a really smart friend.  Just remember, Mrs. Cowan will not tell you the answer.  You need to look for it. 
 

How long do I have to answer the questions?


Each set of questions will remain on the Club Einstein page for one to two weeks.  You can only earn points for questions that are currently listed on this page.  

Have fun!
