YOUR MISSION
Hi! I'm Brennan!
And I'm Elisha!
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!
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?

WETLAND ECOSYSTEMS
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!
WETLAND ECOSYSTEMS
question 1/5
What is a wetland?
A wetland is an area that once used to be filled with water, but is now dry.
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.

Electric Circuits
Over here! This puzzle is a bit of a shocker :) hope you caught the pun there! Anyways, for this puzzle you are going to have to finish the circuit with the correct component. Have fun!
1. THE FIRST AND LAST PARTS OF THE SEQUENCE ARE CONNECTED.2. Each lightbulb requires one and only one battery to power it.3. if there is too little or too much power, the circuit will fail.4. There must be ONLY ONE resistor in the circuit.
