You Say You Want (to Study) A Revolution? Thanksgiving break is nearly here, so let's look at what's hot in our schools this fall. Listed below are the school-related queries which have grown fastest during the past two months. Note that this reflects emerging growth, not volume; since this list reflects growth since September we think it's a good indicator of what topics are being heavily studied in schools. Dicing them up statistically, we see that among the top 21 are: - Four political leaders (counting King Tut) - Three science terms - Three revolutions - Three ancient civilizations - Two inventors (counting Ben Franklin) - One world war - One novel - One explorer - One industrialist - One (middle) age - One bunch of gods Snaps to King Tut for being the highest-rated dead human. And who'd have guessed Lord of the Flies would make this list? Dudes, whatever happened to Catcher in the Rye? Here's the full list, hottest terms first: 1. Biomes 2. (Periodic table of the) Elements 3. The French Revolution 4. King Tut 5. Ancient Rome 6. The American Revolution 7. The Industrial Revolution 8. George Washington 9. Marco Polo 10. Julius Caesar 11. Ancient Greece 12. Benjamin Franklin 13. Henry Ford 14. World War One 15. Thomas Edison 16. Ancient Egypt 17. Thomas Jefferson 18. Greek Gods 19. Cloning 20. The Middle Ages 21. Lord of the Flies
