How to help at home
Build a circuit with a battery, wire, and bulb; then break it and ask why it stopped. Look at a food web and ask what happens if one animal disappears. Encourage the question why, and if neither of you knows, look it up together.Source: Texas Education Agency, Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills, 19 TAC §112.16.
