Seems Trivial, But it is not

How fast can the average house cat run?
What is the highest waterfall in Europe?
What is the mountain range that divides Europe and Asia?
Who was the first baseball player in history to hit 700 home runs?
What are the two main ingredients in chocolate and who invented chocolate sauce?

All of these may seem like trivial questions, but they serve an important purpose.  Fifth grade students are beginning a lesson about locating information. They will use a variety of sources, both print and electronic. One of the things students at this level need to understand is determining the accuracy of their facts. That will also be part of their lesson. By the way, the students will be finding answers to all of the questions above and many more.  Let them amaze you with their knowledge!
