Last
week as I was grocery shopping, I found myself in the cereal aisle. I
noticed that Wheaties puts a lot of famous athletes on the front of
their cereal boxes. I began to wonder why Wheaties has never put famous
scientists on the front of their boxes. Instead of being upset about
this oversight, I thought that having you, my talented students, create
cereal boxes with famous scientists on them would be a much better
solution. |

You may make the scientist cereal
box by covering any regular cereal box. You can use construction paper,
or any other type of paper that will work, to cover the box. Consider
taking a trip to the cereal aisle to get ideas of how cereal companies
design the front of their boxes to make them more attractive to
consumers. Creativity is key! |

|
|
-
Name of scientist |
