Animal Name: salt water crocodile
Dear salt water crocodile

Why do you have scales?

I have scales to protect me from incoming animals that may be a threat. Being able to camouflage under water is also thanks to my scales.

Dear salt water crocodile 

How do you ambush prey?

I camouflage underwater, and wait for my prey. If they are on land, I whip them into the water with my tail. If they are in the water, I use my webbed feet to shove myself towards them.

Basketball Tower STEM Challenge

BASKETBALL TOWER REFLECTION


What was the hardest part of this challenge for you? Why?
The hardest part of the challenge for me was trying to tape the pillars to the news paper platform. This was because they did not fit together evenly.


What worked really well in this challenge for you ? Why?
What worked really well for me was being able to make the tower balanced because the bottom and the top were the same size.


What value did you mostly have to show in this challenge and why?
The values I had to show the most were connect/create because some of my partners I didn't know very well. I kind of struggled  to create the news paper rolls because they had to be tight.


What question do you now have because of this challenge?
What would happen if we were given different materials?
