You're the scientist answering (in this game).
Your goal
Build a reply that is true, clear for a 10-year-old and kind.

Skills you used
- Communication — Saying things clearly and kindly.
- Clear explaining — Making ideas easy to understand.
In real life
Many scientists answer letters, visit schools and write for children. Explaining clearly — including what is still uncertain — is a real part of the job called science communication.
