Let’s wonder: What’s that mystery object?
Have you seen this object before?
Are you curious about what it does?
When we are curious, we explore and discover new things. Curiosity can feed our hungry brains.

Wonders curriculum to access.
What was Marcus curious about?
How did the Pet Planet Crew help Marcus figure out that it was time to feed Hector?
The crew helped Marcus “replay” or think back, and notice details that he’d missed.
Sometimes slowing down and reviewing what we notice can help us find answers when we are curious.
Let’s solve it: Replay to notice the details.
Look closely at the object again. What do you notice about it? Does it look like any objects you have seen before?
I found this object at the grocery store. It is a can opener.
Now your curious brains have been fed. You know something you didn’t know before. How does that feel?
