Wheel of Science 2

Welcome back to Wheel of Science. Here’s your host, Principal Lively. Are you ready to play? Let’s spin the wheel and get started.

Your first question is a 5-point photo question. What type of tree do you see in this picture? Is it a deciduous tree or an evergreen tree?

You got it! The correct answer is deciduous. This is a picture of a maple tree. It’s deciduous because its leaves turn colors in the fall and drop to the ground in the winter.

Let’s spin again.

For 10 points, here’s your next question. It’s multiple choice, so choose the best answer. In which part of the Engineering Design Cycle do you make your design better?
a. Ask
b. Create
c. Improve
d. Imagine

Correct! It’s improve. When you do this step, you think about what went wrong and add to or change your design to make it better.

Let’s spin the wheel.

For 15 points, here’s your next question. What are the four steps of a butterfly life cycle?

The answer is egg, larva (or caterpillar), pupa, and adult.

Nicely done!

That sound means it’s time for our last question of the game.

For 100 points, here’s the bonus audio question. Listen carefully and describe the type of sound.

What kind of pitch does this sound have, and is the vibration moving fast or slow?

You’re correct! This is the sound of chicks. It’s high-pitched with a fast vibration.

With that 100-point bonus question, you earned 130 points!

That’s all the time we have for today. Tune in next time for Wheel of Science. See you soon!
