 Tomorrow is Jill's birthday. She is excited because she gets to pick where she will eat dinner. Will it be Mexican food at the Big Enchilada House? Or will it be fried chicken at the Chicken Shack, or a big cheeseburger at Al's Hamburger Palace. She just couldn't decide. Then there was always the Pizza Shop with that great pepperoni pizza.

Coral reefs provide shelter, a place to hide, for little fish. That many small fish in one place attracts big fish, which in turn attracts BIG predators like sharks. Bigger predators cannot invade the coral, however, they wait along the edges for fish to leave to attack. The reef also provides a place for algae and sponges to grow safely. They provide food for sea turtles and other sea life. If coral were to become extinct so would the turtles and other ocean creatures that rely on them for protection and food.

• I can infer that coral reef are mainly occupied by predators like sharks.

• I can infer that many types of ocean life rely on coral reef to survive because they provide safe habitats and shelter.

• I can infer that sea turtles will not be able to survive without coral because they eat coral.

• I can infer that a variety of ocean life is becoming endangered because they all live in coral.

Artists like Nathan Sawaya use LEGO bricks to make amazing sculptures shown all over the world. Educators and teachers use LEGO bricks to challenge students in math and science. In 2015, a team of girl scouts wondered how they could make reading easier for people who can't move their arms. They designed a battery-powered page-turning machine built from LEGO bricks and LEGO tires. They won the White House Science Fair and got to meet the President of the United States.
