A few back, my then 5yo had ENDLESS questions & wondering about the natural world so we made a dialogic, nature-inspired website called Odd One Out.

It was inspired by the math website Which One Doesn’t Belong (WODB).

Might be time to dust it off and create some new resources.

Did you know: The light-colored rings represent wood that grew in the spring/early summer, while the dark rings represent wood that grew in the late summer/autumn. One light ring plus one dark ring equals one year of the tree’s life.
