Talk about it
Even the same kind of animal can behave differently. Watch how each squirrel takes its own path through the same course.
- Did every squirrel solve an obstacle the same way? What differences did you notice?
- What kept the squirrels motivated to keep trying the hard course?
- How is Mark's testing here like a scientist running the same experiment many times?
