Time to have fun and get creative!
Great job! You performed excellent on the MOCK and do not need to review very many benchmarks within a science category. Instead, you may replace one or more review lessons by creating a mini project of your own design or by participating in a Citizen Science Project. If you choose to create a mini project your only guideline is that the information it contains must be related to one or more benchmarks within the science category under review at the time. See your teacher for more details.
