In lesson 1.2, the lesson calls for 3 cherries. Here are the options for teaching the lesson this year.

• Work with your building to purchase cherries or a small jar of olives that you think will be the right size for their pitters.

•  Use the slide GIFs as the demonstration, or this fun video!

• Use this modified version of the slides ; it doesn't match the "mystery machine" component but it does fulfill the process of observing the parts of a simple machine.
