Moles are
Popping Up
Everywhere!
It's time to celebrate National MOLE DAY!
Badgers, we don't need no stinking Badgers!
We'll have guaca-MOLE, and maybe MOLE-asses
cookies!
Work with your research groups and create a poster to demonstrate
your MOLE knowledge!
Be Cute!
Be Clever!
But be Accurate!
Dont recycle someone else's MOLE-dy idea! Be original!
Be ready to give a 4 minute presentation on your group project to be
followed by a 5 minute Q&A from the class!
(Remember, they'll all be MOLE experts, so be ready!)
Everyone in the group will need to participate in the presentation, and
questions will be answered by random members (chosen by the draw of
the card!) of your group!
