1. Teacher Guide This lesson is designed to teach kids to ask a critical thinking question that you can’t just put into a search box to solve. To do that, we encourage them with smaller questions that search can help them answer. Make sure that you read the notes for each slide: they not only give you teaching tips but also provide answers and hints so you can help the kids if they are having trouble.

3. The humid air of Central Europe moves down and mixes with the warmer, more arid Mediterranean atmosphere in Dehesa de Moncayo Natural Park in northern Spain. Situated around Moncayo Massif, west of the city Zaragoza, the park’s unique climate and ecology allows visitors to experience a variety of natural wonders that might normally be isolated from each other. The north face of Moncayo and its higher altitudes are ideal for the pine forests that cover the hills. But on the east and southern sides, beech forests and rocky terrain give an entirely different feel to the wilderness.
