Elinor models the foundational practices of science inquiry and engineering design -- including her amazing powers of observation and willingness to ask questions and investigate. When she encounters something she doesn’t understand, like why birds have feathers or how tiny ants build massive anthills, she just can’t let it go until she figures it out.

Elinor and her friends have a curious and fun adventure when they go camping.
When they lose a frisbee, Elinor, Ari, and Olive go on a journey through the meadow.
The kids use the photos Olive has taken of a mysterious bird to try and identify it.
