How Water Changes The Earth’s Surface Almost 3/4’s of the Earth’s surface is covered by water! Water exists on Earth as ice - a solid, as a liquid and as an invisible gas called water vapor. Water has the ability to change forms over and over again. Every living thing - plants, animals and people depend on water to live. Liquid water evaporates from our oceans, lakes and streams. As the water vapor rises (or evaporates) into the air, it cools. Water vapor then condenses back into liquid water when it falls back to the Earth. We call that precipitation. Some of the precipitation soaks into the soil. It becomes part of the groundwater. It may stay in the ground for hundreds of years. Some precipitation runs off and flows back into rivers, lakes, and oceans. As the water flows across the Earth’s surface, it makes channels or canyons. and the water moves the soil along with it. It deposits soil in new places and wears down the rocks. Water in rivers, lakes and oceans will change into water vapor again, continuing the cycle. The same holds true as the snow melts on mountaintops. Water changes from a solid state of snow and ice becoming a liquid state as it flows down the mountain. Over time, this moving water wears down or weathers the rock. Weathering is the term geologists use to describe the breaking down of rocks into smaller pieces. Rocks weather until they become a small grain of sand. The stream of water carrying the smaller rocks and grains of sand joins with others and form small rivers. As more streams and rivers empty into it, a small river becomes a larger one. The river bed grows deeper and wider. The current slows down and soil and sand are deposited. Rivers keep flowing until they reach the ocean. A large area of soil and rock deposited by a river at the mouth of a river is called a delta. As the water flows over the Earth’s surface, it shapes the land. Over millions of years, canyons are formed. The Grand Canyon is 10 to 15 miles wide and it is almost a mile deep! High up in the mountains where it is very cold, the snow never

melts. Glaciers are formed. Glaciers are large bodies of ice and compacted snow. They are found in high mountains and at the poles. As the glacier grows larger and heavier, the weight of ice pressing down causes the bottom of the glacier to melt a little. This causes the glacier to slide Melting Glaciers in the Swiss Alps downhill and as they slide, they pick up rocks and boulders. Again it works like sandpaper and carves out mountain valleys. At the ocean shore, the pounding of waves breaks down rock. It grinds them into sand. All these kinds of weathering are called mechanical weathering. Mechanical weathering is weathering that breaks rocks apart without changing their chemical makeup. In the winter months, precipitation falls onto rocks. It may be rain or snow. The sun causes it to melt and it seeps into the cracks of the rock. At night when it gets colder, the water freezes. When it freezes, it expands. It forces the rock to crack and break apart. This process of water freezing and thawing to break apart rock is called ice or frost wedging.

Powerful Protein! Did you know that your muscles, organs and immune system are made up mostly of protein? Your body uses protein you eat to make lots of specialized protein molecules that have special jobs. Protein is used to make hemoglobin which is the part of the red blood cells that carries oxygen to every part of your body! Protein builds up, maintains and replaces tissues in your body. How do you get protein in your diet? The best sources are beef, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy products (milk, yogurt, cheese), nuts (peanut butter), seeds (grains including bread and pasta), and legumes like black beans and lentils. When you eat foods with protein, the digestive juices in your stomach and intestine go to work. They break down the protein into basic units called amino acids. These can be reused to make the proteins your body needs to maintain your muscles, bones, blood and body organs. The amino acids can join together to make thousands of different proteins. 22 of them are very important to human health. Your body can make 13 of them but the other nine you get by eating protein rich food. These are called essential amino acids. Protein from animal sources like milk and meat are called complete because they carry all nine of the essential amino acids. Most vegetable protein is considered incomplete because it lacks one or more of the essentials. People who are vegetarians must get all their amino acids by eating a wide variety of protein rich vegetable foods such as asparagus, broccoli, carrots, potatoes, spinach, corn,

Beef

Poultry

Fish

Eggs

lettuce, tomatoes, plus many more. How much protein do you need daily? Kids need 0.5 grams of protein for every pound they weigh. To figure out your protein needs, take your weight and divide it by 2. If a person weighs 50 pounds they will need about 25 grams of protein every day. The good news is that you don't have to eat all the essential amino acids in every meal. If you have a variety of protein sources throughout the day, your body will grab what it needs from each meal. As your body grows, so do your protein needs.

Here Are Some of the Best Sources For Protein!

Grains

Nuts

Legumes

Write A Story In About Finding A Pot Of Gold At The End Of The Rainbow! People from all over the world celebrate on March 17th in honor of St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. St. Patrick’s Day was first publically celebrated in Boston in 1737 where there was a large population of Irish immigrants. Nearly 200 years later, the first St. Patrick’s Day parade in the Irish Free State was held in Dublin in 1931. Throughout the years, this celebration has evolved to become a celebration of Irish heritage. Along with legendary shamrocks, many symbols were included in festivities that are reflective of Ireland’s folklore, culture and national identity - leprechauns, ethnic foods, shamrocks and wearing green! Have a wonderful St. Patrick’s Day! _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The Great Lakes The Great Lakes - Superior, Huron, Michigan, Ontario and Erie make up the largest body of surface fresh water on Earth. To remember the Great Lakes names, remember the word HOMES! H=Huron O=Ontario M=Michigan E=Erie S=Superior The Great Lakes account for 1/5th of the freshwater supply at 6 quadrillion gallons of water. The lakes are located on the U.S./Canadian border, touching Ontario in Canada and Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York. "The Great Lakes State" is a nickname that has been applied to Michigan for many years. This refers to the fact that Michigan shores meet four of the five Great Lakes and also to the number of inland lakes in the state. The four Great Lakes that border Michigan are Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, Lake Huron and Lake Erie. There are also more than 11,000 inland lakes in Michigan and, according to the Michigan Historical Center, one is never more than six miles from an inland lake or more than 85 miles from one of the Great Lakes. The Great Lakes add to Michigan’s tourism income greatly as well as a large number of jobs. Approximately 34 million people in the United States and Canada live in the Great lakes basin. More than 3,500 species of plants and animals inhabit the basin - including 170 plus species of fish. They are large enough to influence the regional climate, cooling summers and tempering winters, as well as increasing amounts of rain and snow in the region. A world-renowned fishery, thousands of acres of forests, major mineral and metal reserves and rich agricultural land provide a balance of economic opportunity within the basin. In addition, the lakes and their surroundings provide many recreational opportunities such as boating, fishing and swimming. There are a number of rivers and tributaries connecting the Great Lakes. The Straits of Mackinac connect Lake Michigan and Lake Huron. Lake Erie and Lake Ontario are connected by the Niagara River, including Niagara Falls. The St. Lawrence River connects Lake Ontario to the Gulf of St. Lawrence, which leads out to the Atlantic Ocean. The Great Lakes are dotted with more than 30,000 islands. Many of the islands are small and uninhabitable, the largest is Lake Huron’s Manitoulin Island (1,068 square miles), which is also the largest island in any inland body of water on the planet. There have been a number of shipwrecks on the Great Lakes, as

storms and reefs can make navigation dangerous. The last and one of the most famous shipwreck was that of the SS E d m u n d Fitzgerald, a freighter that sank in Lake Superior during a storm on Nov. 10, 1975, killing the crew of 29. The Great Lakes serve as an important mode of transportation of goods, but they have not always been in their current form. About 14,000 years ago, the Great Lakes area was covered with a glacier that was more than a half-mile thick. As the glacier melted, it slowly moved toward Canada and left behind a series of large depressions that filled with water. These depressions formed the basic shape of the Great Lakes, and about 10,000 years ago the Great Lakes took the form that is familiar today. Lake Superior - The name comes from the French word lac supĂŠrieur, meaning upper lake, as it is north of Lake Huron. It is the largest in surface area and in water volume. It is also rich in natural resources. Lake Huron - was named for the Wyandot Indians or Hurons who lived there. It is the second largest Great Lake by surface area and has the longest shoreline when taking into account its many islands. Lake Michigan - Its name is derived from the Ojibwa Indian word mishigami, meaning large lake. However, it is only the third largest of the Great Lakes when measured in water surface. It is the only Great Lake located entirely in the United States. Lake Erie - The name came from erielhonan, the Iroquois word for long tail which describes its shape. It is the fourth largest of the Great Lakes when measured in surface area and the smallest by water volume. Lake Ontario is the smallest Great Lake when measured in surface area.
