Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?
With the new popularity of the hit TV show I did
a program called, "are you smarter than a 5th
grader".  It is set up jeopardy style and asks
questions that 5th graders should know.  Turnout
was excellent for this program! Submitted by
Amanda Robbins, Southern New Hampshire University
