Have you heard of desert watermelon? Can you remember how desert is spelled? A mnemonic device is a way to remember something. Desert and dessert are often confused but dessert has an extra "s" for sugar. So, desert is the dry place. But watermelon, that's wet! What is it doing in the desert? Do you have any ideas? Can you speculate? Does it make you curious? Can you design an experiment to find out if watermelon can grow in dry conditions?
This is a mental exercise. Can you stretch your brain? E-mail your responses to EducationResponses@gmail.com
