# Living Systems Hangman: Plants and Animals

Plants and animals interact with each other and with their environments in many ways ([Guiding question](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/36336), [Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/36337)). This game explores how living things use their senses to detect food or a predator, how they survive using food chains, and how they interact with other plants and animals around them ([Knowledge](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/36347), [Skills](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/36349), [Understanding](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/36348), [Understanding](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/36340)). Guess each hidden word to review these ideas.

## How to play

Each puzzle shows blank lines. Each blank stands for one letter in a science word.

Pick a letter you think might be in the word.

If the letter is in the word, it gets filled into every blank where it belongs.

If the letter is not in the word, draw one part of the hangman.

You get 6 wrong guesses before the hangman is complete.
