Answer: Camouflage

My daughter says, 'When sunlight reaches a chloroplast (part of a plant cell) glucose is made. There is more of this sugar in the plant on sunny days than on cloudy days, or at night. Glucose can be found in both plant and animal cells, but reacts differently.'

Answer: Carbon Dioxide

The kiddo says, 'Carbon dioxide (that's what we exhale when we breathe) is used by the plant to create glucose and oxygen. That's why it's always a good thing to have plants around you. They make oxygen when you breathe on them...and water them, too. Carbon monoxide is what comes from your car's tailpipe. It's not good for plants or most any other living thing.'

Answer: Shop

My daughter says, 'I use the scientific method when I go shopping. I 'look' for neat clothes, 'check' the price tag and 'observe' if the cool kids are wearing them. Highly recommended'.

Answer: Philadelphia

As my daughter recalls, 'The first delegate to sign the paper establishing the U.S. form of government represented the state of Delaware, giving them the motto 'The First State'. At the time of the signings, Philadelphia was the place where all the delegates met, except for Rhode Island. The laws were ratified in 1788'.

Answer: True

Baby Girl says, 'It has both a subject and a verb, so short as it is, it does constitute a complete sentence. It is an 'imperative', otherwise known as a command sentence'.

Answer: they're

My baby girl says, 'Contractions are new words created by smashing two words together, like 'we're' (for 'we are') and 'can't' (for 'can not')...just like when I smash my little brother with scrambled eggs when he says 'I can't eat this'.

Answer: Ohio River Valley

The Great Serpent Mound, found in Adams County, Ohio, only stands about three feet high, but stretches out nearly a quarter of a mile. From overhead, it clearly displays a snake eating what appears to be an egg. Most historians believe the Adena tribe built the mound, but carbon dating of samples put the mound being built around 1070, just after the Battle of Hastings, making the Fort Ancients tribe the likely builders.

That's Daddy talking...daughter just thinks it's pretty.

Answer: The Inuit of Canada

Darling Dearest says, 'The kayak is a one-man boat made of seal-skin. It was used for fishing in the open sea around Alaska, Siberia, Canada and Greenland. It was a great boat for the Inuit because it was lightweight and could easily be righted if it capsized. The original name was 'qajaq', which was altered by the Europeans...okay, Daddy told me most of that.'

Answer: Four

The kid says, 'A quatrain is a poem, or a stanza of a longer poem, that is made up of only four lines. It has a number of rhyming patterns, including 'aaba', 'abab', 'abcb' and 'aabb' (for example, William Blake's poem, 'The Tyger', is written in the 'aabb' style).

Answer: Antonyms

The little girl says, 'Antonyms are like 'hot' and 'cold', 'wet' and 'dry', etc. Ethnonyms are used to describe different human or ethnic groups, like we call residents of Germany 'Germans', but they call themselves 'Deutsch'. Phytonyms are nothing more than plant names, like roses and daffodils. Synonyms are different words with the same meaning, like 'baby', 'infant' and 'rugrat'...sorry, I was thinking of my little brother'.
