Scientific Findings Scientific finding 1: Dystopian Society Dystopia- a society characterized by human misery, oppression, disease, and overcrowding. District 12, where Katniss lives is considered a dystopian society because of its povery and depression. Scientific finding 2: Technology The techonology of putting 24 children into a domed arena; the pictures shown on the sky in the arena; how the capital controlls the hunger games through computers; also the tracking devices that each competitor gets put into their arms before entering the game.

What I have learned I have learned that science can be presented in The Hunger Games through many ways. I learned that a dystopian society consists of poverty, over population, and human misery. I also learned that the advanced technologies in the Hunger Games show an uprise in comupter science.

Book Review The Hunger Games was a great and exciting book to re-read. I love the concept of dystopian socities and how it involves children my age. I can connect and relate to the book The characters are very different from one another. Overall, The Hunger Games is a great scientific book.
