Monday

Why do ants gather on the sidewalk?


Tuesday

Why do men's and boys' bicycles have crossbars on them, whereas women's and girls' bicycles do not?


Wednesday

On a map of the world, the east coast of South America and the west coast of Africa look as though they would fit together like two pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. Why might this be so?


Thursday

Why does a brown paper bag holding potato chips become discolored and soggy over time?

[Mya Mays]

Monday:

Ants gather on the sidewalk because lots of people drop food on the sidewalk , to find material to add to their nest,and because after it rains there homes is flooded and there would rather not drown.

Tuesday:
Women and girls' bicycles don't have crossbars on them because in the old days, girls and women wore dresses, so they had to sit a certain way.


Wednesday:
South America and the west coast of Africa split apart so now it looks like
two pieces of a jigsaw puzzle

Thursday:

The oil in the chips is soaked up by the brown paper bag. Plastic bags originally don't soak up the oil so you never see this until the chips are in an absorbant container.
