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. Remember, you can always send feedback to the Bing in the Classroom team at BingInTheClassroom@Microsoft.com.

This lesson is designed to teach the Common Core State Standard: Reading: Informational Text CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RI.8.2Determine a central idea of a text and analyze its development over the course of the text, including its relationship to supporting ideas; provide an objective summary of the text. CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RI.8.3Analyze how a text makes connections among and distinctions between individuals, ideas, or events (e.g., through comparisons, analogies, or categories). CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RI.8.4Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text, including figurative, connotative, and technical meanings; analyze the impact of specific word choices on meaning and tone, including analogies or allusions to other texts.

3. Also known as green flying frogs, or Reinwardt's tree frogs, these amphibians have one feature that sets them apart: The webbing between their toes that helps them glide through the air. While most frogs use their webbed feet exclusively for swimming, black-webbed tree frogs, and other frogs in their genus, use the extra surface area like a sort of built-in hang glider. Opening their feet wide as they leap from tree to tree, they can cover a little more distance than they might otherwise be capable of. This handy adaptation means black-webbed tree frogs can spend most of their time up in the relative safety of the forest canopies in the Southeast Asian subtropics. On the forest floor, they’d be more exposed to predators. How do you expand the purpose of objects that are intended for a specific use?

4. 1 Web Search Differentiate between an objects “intrinsic” purpose and it’s “extrinsic” purpose based on the definition of these terms. 2 Thinking How might these terms apply to what the tree frog has used their webbed feet (even allowing that this could be an evolutionary adaptation)? 3 Thinking Consider an intrinsic and extrinsic purpose for an object that you would find at home. 4 Thinking Consider an intrinsic and extrinsic purpose for an object that you would find at school. 5 Thinking How do you regard people who apply an extrinsic purpose to everyday items? Do you see it as creative? Do you see it as a problem? Does your view of how people “make do” with the things they have depend on the object, situation, or other factors? How do you expand the purpose of objects that are intended for a specific use?
