THINK LIKE A SCIENTIST AND EARN A REWARD!

It's August and whether you are in Texas or Alabama, you are probably dealing with high temperatures!

Robert Griffin III, the Heisman trophy winning quarterback from Baylor cools down with Gatorade.

Did you know that Gatorade was invented by a Texas-born Scientist when he was working with a sports team in the south?

THINK LIKE A SCIENTIST AND EARN A REWARD!
Do a bit of research on the internet to find answers to these questions.  
(Be sure you have permission from your parents to use the internet!)

• What is the name of the Texas-born scientist who invented Gatorade?
• What university was he working with when he invented this beverage?
• Have you tried drinking Gatorade when you are very hot?
• List at least two reasons why athletes need special beverages to help them perform better in hot weather. (It's okay to guess!)

Record your answers on a sheet of paper and give to Mrs D during the first week of class to EARN A REWARD!
