- C: protein. Pollinators get food, and the flowers get their pollen moved. Both sides win. Source: USDA Forest Service
- C: North and South Carolina. They live in longleaf pine lands near the coast. Source: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
- A: about 35 years. Once it starts, a saguaro keeps making flowers for the rest of its life. Source: National Park Service
- B: carbon dioxide. The sugar is the plant's food, and oxygen is given off. Source: NOAA Ocean Exploration
- B: the bristlecone pine. Some bristlecone pines are thousands of years old, so their rings record ancient weather. Source: National Park Service
- C: chlorophyll. It is the most common pigment in a leaf, which is why most leaves look green. Source: National Park Service
- B: humans. Fungi were counted as plants until the late 1960s, when they got their own kingdom. Source: National Park Service
- B: volume. This giant sequoia holds about 52,500 cubic feet of wood. 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.
