The destination of this week's Mystery Skype was Naples, Florida; and some key questioning led our Knollwood students to the mystery location first!
Students asked questions such as, "Is your state near the gulf of Mexico?" and this quickly narrowed the choices of states.
Our Knollwood class was asked questions such as, "Are you in the Northern Hemisphere?" and "Are you West of the Prime Meridian?" Answering this question took a bit of time because we had to make sure of the definition of "Prime Meridian".

A key question that helped our mystery class find our location was, "Are you one of the original 13 colonies?".
For this group of 5th grade students it was their first time participating in Mystery Skype and they were excited to discover the mystery location first.
Jorge described the experience as "super-duper fun!".
