- B: they fall as rain. Inside a cloud, tiny drops join together and grow bigger and bigger. Source: NOAA NESDIS (SciJinks)
- B: the roots. A big redwood moves hundreds of gallons of water up its trunk every day. Source: National Park Service
- B: quieter. Fresh snow soaks up sound waves, so the world goes hushed. Source: National Snow and Ice Data Center
- A: nectar. While they sip, pollen sticks to their bodies. Source: USDA Forest Service
- A: sunlight. A green pigment in each leaf catches the sun's rays and turns them into food. Source: National Park Service
- B: water. All that stored water can make a big saguaro weigh more than 6 tons. Source: National Park Service
- A: fungi. Mold and yeast are fungi too. Source: National Park Service
- B: a tomato seed. From that tiny seed, a redwood can grow taller than a 35-story building. Source: National Park Service

Make a different round
How the round maker works
- Little is for ages 6 to 8 (kindergarten to 2nd grade), Middle for 9 to 11 (grades 3 to 5), Big for 12 and up. A round never mixes ages; at a mixed table, play one round per age on the same themes.
- Three themes give three questions each and a riddle to end on. Two give five each, and one gives all ten. Shuffle keeps the age and the themes and draws ten new questions.
- Every question about animals, the ocean, dinosaurs, space, planet Earth, weather, plants, the body and Thanksgiving was written by Peabody and checked against one page from NASA, NOAA, USGS, the Park Service, the USDA, the National Archives, the Smithsonian or another public source, named under its answer. Capitals come from each state’s USA.gov page, word meanings from Peabody’s word bank, and sums are worked out on the key.
- The round’s address is the round, so you can send it, print it or play it again. Scores stay on this device. There is nothing to sign up for and nothing anyone types.
