What is animal diversity?

The techno-word is "biodiversity". Go find the word, chew it up and bring the parts to me!

Now what did I  mean by that?

"Now Ology says there are three kinds of biodiversity. What kind is the bird picture?"

"I see the light!" barked Wishbone in the experiment room. He was holding a cup and Christmas lights to his eye.

Its a magic cup you can make at home which changes colors when you look at it. Can you find how to make it?

How can you search  everywhere at once without looking into all the rooms?"

Welcome to Reeko's Mad Scientist Lab!  Kick off your shoes, pull up a chair, make yourself comfortable, Oh yeah. Did we mention that protective goggles are required? As you'll soon find out - nothing is ordinary around here. Be curious, explore (place your cursor over objects and click everywhere), and above all - HAVE FUN because as we all know - Science rocks!

Reeko stays pretty busy around the science lab - experimentation can be hard work. To ease the burden, Reeko created a robot to assist. Once the last wires were hooked up and Reeko was able to talk with his new creation, it was easy to decide what to name it – Ego. Ego is massively intelligent, great with his hands (he has three), and cooks a mean pot roast. Ego also has quite an attitude. When not helping Reeko with an experiment, Ego likes to pull up a chair and chat with the lab visitors. You think we’re kidding? Sit down, stay a while, and chat with Ego.

Infecting mosquitoes (so they can't infect us!)

There are plenty of reasons to dislike mosquitoes. Not only do they bite us and suck our blood, but they also carry diseases! When they bite into a larger creature (like us), they often transmit the disease right then and there. So in many cases around the world, people can contract deadly viruses from just a tiny mosquito bite.
