The last line of the Star-Spangled Banner isn't a question, it's a statement:

"And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave

o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave."

The last line of the first verse does end with a question, quite similar to the statement except the first part is "O, say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave".

What is the third and fourth verse of the Star Spangled Banner?

Oh, say, can you see by the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there. Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

I need a definition of the star spangled banner for third grade students?

The Star Spangled Banner is the national anthem of the United States. It was written as a poem by Francis Scott Key in 1814, during the defense of Fort McHenry in Baltimore during the War of 1812. A spangle is a decoration sewn into fabric or clothing (think along the lines of sequins). In this case, the star spangles are the stars in the upper left corner of the flag of the United States (the flag is the "banner", which is another word for a flag). The national anthem, "The Star Spangled Banner" actually has four verses, but only the first is commonly sung. The last two lines of the first verse ask, "Oh, say, does that star spangled banner yet wave / O'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave?"
