Analogy Alley

Our critical thinking this week was all about analogies! I was proud of everyone for solving the challenging science analogies and successfully creating two of your own! Here are a couple of links found by your classmates to help you test your analogy skills even more! See if you can find another on-line analogy quiz to play and add the link in a comment. I would also love to see some of your new analogy creations added as a comment to challenge your classmates! Have FUN!
