Focus on moving slowly and allowing students to notice details and ask questions about the images. It's not about guessing or jumping to hypotheses! It's about wondering. (I recommend setting the Google Slides to *fullscreen* first!)

You’re looking at a crooked forest located in Poland near the small village of Nowe Czarnowo. The forest’s name in Polish, Krzywy Las, means “crooked forest”. There are about 400 pine trees in this grove that bend and then straighten out. No one knows how they got like this! It’s possible that a person used a tool to bend them as they grew — possibly to make furniture or boats — but others theorize that a natural event like a snowstorm bent the trees in this way. Weird!
