    • Challenge Question #1

    This is from Jake Kimmelman and Valerie Glibbery, the manatee team from Mrs.
    Berger's 5th grade class:

    The scientists mobilized quickly to conduct the aerial survey when the cold
    front arrived because it meant that the manatee would begin to move to get away
    from the cold. They had to be sure that they were there when they began to
    move south.
    Also bad weather and storms could accompany the cold front and
    make it difficult to track the manatee.
