Many
people make treats to share with others. It is important to keep
the treats fresh. Some treats need to be kept dry, others moist.
Some treats are fragile and need to be protected. There are times
when changes in temperature can affect the flavor or quality of
the treat. Sometimes a wrap will be chosen because it is pretty
and looks good.

this issue of find out why we continue to investigate how to design
fair tests to answer questions. The process of designing a fair test to
obtain an answer is a scientific process that can be applied to many situations
and not simply "science questions." Many problems can be solved
using this scientific process. Work with your child to recognize instances
where this method can be used to seek a solution to a problem.
You
might want to record your results and observations using a data table.
The last issue of find out why included a sample table for
your use. Help your children devise their own table for these activities. Click
