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. Like many other wild animals, the fox has learned to survive alongside humans. In places where human development encroaches on the fox’s habitat, it’s not unusual to see foxes in decidedly non-woodland environs. This red fox, however, enjoys the natural life on Îles-de-Boucherville National Park, a park comprising five islands in the St. Lawrence River just north of Montreal, Canada. Within the park, the foxes likely don’t need to scavenge for food left behind by the many people who visit. Even in winter, foxes are excellent hunters, using their incredible sense of hearing and smell to locate prey, even beneath the snow.
