Challenge: Nature Walk and Observations [#008]
It's almost spring! With an adult, go for a nature walk! Your walk can take place in a park, on a nature trail, or even in your own back yard or playground -- all you need to do is go outdoors and observe what you see!

After you have finished with the story, you can try the story quiz, then complete the following questions on a separate piece of paper.
You can also type this on the same website, then send it to a printer (but this might be difficult to find--look for TumbleBook Report).

Scratch
You will need an adult to help you with this.
About Scratch
Scratch is a programming language that makes it easy to create your own interactive stories, animations, games, music, and art -- and share your creations on the web.
As young people create and share Scratch projects, they learn important mathematical and computational ideas, while also learning to think creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively.

The grade 2/3 class has 15 iguanas (this is just fiction!). Kevin must put them in 4 cages to go home for the long weekend. No cage should have fewer than 3 iguanas. How should he divide the iguanas? How many possible solutions can you find?
For each solution, be sure to explain why you divided the iguanas the way you did.
