Introduction
Attention! Yesterday was the feast of John Paul 2nd.  
Task
You and your classmates will do some research about Saint Pope John Paul II.  You will create a poster with the most important facts about him. First, you need a sheet of paper, and your invisible investigator hats. 
Process
Step 1: Write down Pope John Paul II's real name, before he became Pope (hint: see the links below!)
Step 2: On your sheet of paper, answer the following questions:
     1) When was he born, and when did he die?
     2) Where did he live?
     3) What were three great things he did to lead Catholics closer to God?
     4) What miracle(s) have been done for his beatification and canonization?
Step 3: Take this information, and make a large poster which includes
     1) A visual of Saint Pope John Paul II
     2) Information about when and where he lived
     3) 3 important bits of information about his life


Here are some helpful websites to use during your search for information and visuals:

SCIENCE

Today we discussed salinity and desalination methods. Make sure you can define both terms

Salinity is the 'saltiness' of a body of water.
The concentration of dissolved salt in a given volume of water is called salinity.
Freshwater has very little salt. Sea water has a lot more.
