Worried about going outside and being asked questions you don’t know the answer to?
"Why is the sky blue?"
Here’s some answers to this favorite question: http://spaceplace.nasa.gov/blue-sky/en/
If you take the challenge and go outside to teach, you will certainly find you and your students have lots of questions: “What’s this bug?” “What’s this plant?” Why are the bluebells pink?
If you don’t know the answer, take the opportunity to learn yourself.
You can say, “That’s a good question, I’d like to find out too” and “Let’s google that when we get back inside”.
So, why are Virginia Bluebells sometimes pink? Check out details at http://www.sierrapotomac.org/W_Needham/VirginiaBluebells_060402.htm
