We even experienced a first Breakout EDU in science this week which was the perfect collaborative, kinesthetic activity that reinforced are learning about the adaptations of animals. It was so fun watching your children problem solve and use their critical thinking skills while trouble shooting through the challenges they had to unlock the bird beak antidote!

Questions might look like:
- The source of energy for all the organisms in the food chain? (the sun)
- A student planted a flower in a pot filled with beach sand. The student planted a flower in a pot filled with beach sand. The student later sat that pot in the window and watered it twice a day. After two weeks, the plant turned brown and died. Explain why.
