205, 203 and 206 are learning about the forest. While we were watching Planet Earth and noticing the different layers of the forest, we pointed out many predators and their prey. We also began to talk about how plants make their own energy from the Sun, while everything else that lives must eat to get its energy.

This game is about nature. It is about the forest. You can see lots of amazing animals. You can learn about the top of the tree, the middle, the bottom, and even the inside and top of a log. One of the best ones is a bird that says, “Drink your tea!!” You will experience the life of nature. This game is amazing.

We can’t get enough of this game! Can you balance out the predators and prey so that all three kinds of living things survive?

Is it hard to breathe in the desert? by Saskia

This question was asked during a discussion of how trees produce oxygen, so that people can breathe. Saskia wanted to know if places without many trees, such as deserts, would be harder to breathe in. Great thinking!

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!

Devon was very scientific in his approach to this game. He watched what happened, then changed one or two of the numbers a little bit, then tried again. Each time he did this, he got closer and closer to a perfect game. His highest score was 85 points.

If you use this method, you can get a high score too! We will post the highest scores as kids get to them.
