DIRECTIONS
1. TEAMS are chosen to answer the questions.
2. If the correct answer is given, the team gets control of
the mystery box. The box may contain good or bad things
, which will affect a team’s score. Before opening the box,
the team must decide whether to keep it or give it to
another team of their choosing.

Bonus: we don’t need chloroplasts because we
don’t make our own energy. We don’t need cell
walls, because we need to move to find food, so
