3. You were walking with two friends in the woods. You come across a dead owl similar to the one above. You see it laying near a fallen tree. A little further down the path, you come across a very small pond. You see two small dead birds like the one above. You look around the pond and notice that on one side, there are quite a few dead bushes. You wonder what is going on in these woods that are affecting the local birds?

4. How do different scientists approach the same problem? You wonder what is going on in these woods that are affecting the local birds? Thinking as a scientist with a biology focus, what do you do? Thinking as a scientist with a geology focus, what do you do? Thinking as a scientist with a physical science focus, what do you do?
