These are easy questions that teams can use to get used to working together and to learn to answer the two part questions. Questions will be harder at the Final Battle. Team Parents or Team Members can create their own questions that are more difficult for additional team practice.
The first part of each question will ask about subject content and will be worth five points. The second part of each question will ask the author’s name and will be worth two points.
