It was formerly just a short answer response submission by individual students (file uploaded; screenshot of discussion prompt) which has now been expanded to include a discussion on Canvas that helps segway to the following week where water usage is introduced with a Jamboard (linked). This exercise engages students via three different means of communication and interaction.

They're also then subsequently engaged with a Jamboard that builds off this introductory activity, expanding the engagement tools used in this course.
