Hi! I'm Brennan!
And I'm Elisha!
We're so glad you're here!
We're STEM Detectives and we are tracking down the culprit who has stolen all the lab equipment from our school!
The culprit managed to get away, but they left some puzzles for us to solve!
We've solved some of them, but we're a little stuck now. Do you think you can help us out?
There are four puzzles left that we haven't finished yet. We're hoping we can count on you to solve them!
Good luck! We'll be cheering you on the whole way!

Hey! Great to see you here! The culprit left an electronic quiz pad and you will need to answer every question correctly to solve this puzzle. Good luck!
start
WETLAND ECOSYSTEMS
question 1/5
What is a wetland?
A wetland is an area that has just had a large amount of rain, making the land wet.
A wetland is an area where the soil is full of water, such as swamps, marshes, and lakes.
A wetland is an area that once used to be filled with water, but is now dry.
WETLAND ECOSYSTEMS
RIGHT!
Great Job! Only four more questions to go!

WETLAND ECOSYSTEMS
question 2/5
What group of organisms are all usually found in wetlands?
Moss, water spiders, polar bears, and shrimp
Mosquitoes, beavers, daisies, and mice
Reeds, otters, newts, and herons
WETLAND ECOSYSTEMS
RIGHT!
Nice one! This one was a little tricky, wasn't it? Three questions left!
NEXT
WETLAND ECOSYSTEMS
QUESTION 3/5
What human actions can be harmful to wetland ecosystems?
Stabilizing the soil around the shore of the wetland ecosystem
Changing the natural flow of water in the wetland ecosystem
Picking up litter and trash around the banks of the wetland ecosystem
WETLAND ECOSYSTEMS
RIGHT!
Excellent! You're right on track! You've got two more questions to solve!
NEXT
WETLAND ECOSYSTEMS
QUESTION 4/5
Which description of the role of producers, consumers or decomposers is correct?
Decomposers - organisms that destroy and damage the earth
Producers - organisms that make their own food
Consumers - organisms that can create and consume their own food
WETLAND ECOSYSTEMS
RIGHT!
You got it! Hopefully that was pretty easy for you! Last question coming right up!
NEXT
WETLAND ECOSYSTEMS
QUESTION 5/5
What adaptation is helpful for plants to survive in wetlands?
Thick, waxy coverings in order to retain water better
Long stems and shallow roots to deal with lower oxygen levels
The ability to shed leaves in order to protect the plant from disease
