Good morning,  Div. 4 Scientists!

Unfortunately, this morning’s read aloud needs to be cancelled, but we will still have on Friday at 1pm!

 Your science mystery for today is can animals laugh?  

  1. Watch the video! 
  2.  Answer the reflection questions form on teams!  
  3. Try an extension: 
    • Try this experiment. Tell a friend a joke — and laugh out loud when you get to the funny part. Now tell another friend the same joke — but don’t laugh. Scientists say that people often laugh when they see someone else laughing. Do you think scientists are right about that? (If you need a joke, here’s our favorite: What’s orange and sounds like a parrot? (A carrot).)
