206 tried this game this morning… We were able to create one fish that survived until the end. One other fish ran out of energy, and one got eaten!

A fossilized snake skeleton was discovered in Colombia. It was big enough to eat a cow! Don’t worry, it’s extinct now.

Take a guess – what do you think this is? And why is Lisa so excited about it?

Can you dress the polar scientist? There are a LOT of layers!

This video from Lisa’s trip includes a short section that shows you all the layers she wore. You can also see icebergs, penguins, and even a top predator…

This is Macquarie Island. It’s part of the country of Australia. This penguin colony lives there. There are also other kinds of seabirds, cats, and rabbits on the island. About 9 years ago, Australia decided to get rid of all the cats so that they wouldn’t hunt the seabirds.

If you’ve ever played that Rabbits-Foxes-Grass game, you might be able to predict what happened next. What happened in our game when we didn’t have many foxes?

Cluster B has been studying ecosystems for the first half of the school year. We are getting to wrap up our study of living things on Earth so that we can debate whether we will find some living things somewhere in space…

But first, Lisa’s favorite ecosystem of them all… ANTARCTICA!
