How do I join? Joining Club Ed is simple. All you have to do is answer
one or more of the questions at the
bottom of this page and give your answer(s) to Mr. Coley, either in
class or by e-mail. Earn points for each correct answer and get your
name listed on the Club Ed Scoreboard. The more questions you answer
correctly, the more points you earn. Mr. Coley's student with the
most points at the end of each trimester wins a cool prize!
How do I find the
answers? Any way you want -- books,
encyclopedias, the Internet, Mom or Dad, or a really smart friend.
Just a hint, Mr. Coley finds all of his answers on the
Internet.
Do I have to answer all
of the questions? No. You may answer as many questions
as you wish, and you may answer them separately. Just remember, your
first answer is the only answer that can earn you points
for each question.
How long do I have to
answer the questions? Each set of questions will remain on
the Club Ed page for at least two weeks. You can only earn
points for questions that are currently listed on this page.

Why do bats hang upside down?
Bats' legs and feet are not strong enough to
support walking or standing for great lengths of time. For
this reason, bats hang upside down to take weight off their legs and
feet. This also gives them a head start (by falling) when they
start to fly. (http://www.coolquiz.com/trivia/explain/docs/bats.asp)
