Fantastic Flag Fish
Show Your Colors Proudly!
The American Flagfish gets its name from its cool colorr pattern. The males have alternating stripes that look like ourr American flag. Females are not as brightly colored, they are more brown and look like a checkerboard with a big black circle in the middle. The females have lighterr colors to blend in with theirr surroundings while guarding eggs. Theirr coloring even changes iff they are startled.
American Flag fish are interesting fish to add to any tank. They like to be in pairs, and the male and female will even nuzzle each other! They hang out nearr the bottom and will spend theirr days munching on algae.
The flagfish is not just an American fish, they are found in Florida all the way down into Mexico. They like warm waterr and lots off sunlight, but can handle less. They spawn by laying eggs one at a time on nearby plants. The eggs are sticky and attach to the plants until they hatch. Iff you look closely at the eggs, you can see the young fish, orr fry, inside the eggs and some will even show theirr stripes while inside the egg! Sometimes shy, American Flagfish can be pretty aggressive at times. They like to live in pairs with no other flagfish in the tank. Theirr nearby neighbors should eitherr be fast, orr bigger, because the flagfish will pick on them! That is not a good way to make friends... Flagfish will eat almost anything. While they love munching on algae off all kinds, they will eat worms, and shrimp. In a tank you can feed them flake food, boiled spinach and even peas! With a wide variety off food, the American Flagfish is an omnivore, meaning they eat both meat and plants. Try This! Makee a patriotic fish!
What you will need: paper crayons 1. Draw the outline off yourr American Flag Fish 2. Colorr in the fish like ourr American Flag. 3. Colorr both sides and then yourr can hang him from a window. 4. Iff you make several, you can have a whole school off Flag Fish!
Flagfish are a type off killifish. Theirr cousins can also be found in the south, the coolest are mummichogs and pupfish. Pupfish get theirr names because they play like puppies. While the mummichogs are famous forr being great at cleaning out a pond off mosquito larvae. Who wouldn’t want a fish that takes care off all those pesky mosquitoes that botherr you in summer?

played the cornet, and Louis Armstrong started off on the cornet but later switched to the trumpet. Cornetists such as Bubber Miley and Rex Stewart contributed substantially to the Duke Ellington Orchestra’s early sound. Jimmy McPartland and Bix Beiderbecke played gold-plated cornets!! A famous musical piece, “The Story of a Soldier� was written by Igor Stravinsky.
Igor Stravinsky Igor Stravinsky was born on June 17, 1882 in St. Petersburg which was the capital of Russia at that time. His father was a famous opera singer so, he was exposed to all the famous musicians of the day. He began taking piano lessons at age 9. When he was older and studying law, one of his classmates was the son of composer Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov and he agreed to give Stravinsky composition lessons. Stravinsky had a big success with “The Firebird�, which he composed for the head of the Russian Ballet. Stravinsky went on to write more music not sticking to one style in particular. He wrote Russian-sounding music, modern music, opera and religious music. During World War II, he came to the United States. He lived in both California and New York.

Sunburns Don’t Mix With Fun! During the summer months, the days are longer and everyone spends more time outdoors. Besides making the plants grow, the sun gives us Vitamin D for stronger bones by sending down light, which includes ultraviolet rays. You can’t see ultraviolet rays! But, these are also the rays that can cause sunburn when you are exposed to too much sun! The ultraviolet rays pass through the air and clouds and penetrate your skin. Sunburn can cause blisters on your skin as well as turning your skin very red. It also makes you feel sore and you have to get out of the sun and stay inside. No fun when everyone else is outside having fun! Some people get a sunburn faster than others. It depends on your coloring. If you have blond or red hair, light eyes and light colored skin, you’ll sunburn more quickly than a person with dark eyes and skin. That’s because lighter featured people have less melanin. Melanin is a chemical in the skin that protects the skin from the sun by reflecting and absorbing the ultraviolet rays. Darker featured people will still get sunburned, although it will take a little longer. Over exposure to the sun will also increase your chance for getting wrinkly when you get older or worse than that - skin cancer. It’s important to protect yourself by using protection from the sun especially between 10 AM and 4 PM in the afternoon. The sun’s rays are the strongest then. • Always wear sunscreen with an SPF rating of 15 or higher. Do you know what SPF stands for? It means “sun protection factor.” The number tells you how much longer you can stay in the sun without getting sunburned. So, if your skin burns after 20 minutes - and you have SPF 15, this sunscreen may give you 15 times the protection. So let’s do the math. 15 x 20 = 300 minutes or 5 hours. This doesn’t always work so, reapply the sunscreen every two hours to be safe. You will need to do it more if you’ve been swimming or sweating. Make sure you put sunscreen all over your body! • Protect your eyes when your out in the sun by wearing sunglasses and make sure the label says that they will block UV rays. Also it’s a
great idea to wear a hat in the sun. • Drink lots of water so you don’t get dehydrated. Even if you are out in the water - when it’s hot, your body needs you to drink! • Take breaks from the sun by going indoors or go in the shade frequently. It’s important your body doesn’t get over-heated. If you start to get a headache or dizzy, or your stomach gets upset when your out in the sun - tell an adult.

What Is A Crystal? A crystal is a mineral that is a geometric solid and grows into specific shapes in a repeating pattern. No two crystals are the same. The outside shape of the crystal is smooth and symmetrically arranged which reflects the internal arrangement of the atoms it contains. The word crystal comes from the Greek word “krystallos” meaning clear ice as it was thought to be an especially solid form of water. The word once referred mostly to quartz or “rock crystals.” Many types of crystals are found in nature. The shape of crystals which bring well-defined and often pleasing geometric shapes, are dependent on the conditions under which they are formed. Snowflakes, diamonds and table salt or halite are common examples of crystals. Minerals usually crystalize into one of seven crystal patterns. The angles at which the axes intersect and the degree of symmetry shows which system they are in.
Grow Your Own Salt Crystals! What you'll need: A jar Hot water About half a cup of salt A spoon for stirring String Scissors 2 toothpicks
Trigonal - In the cross-section of a Trigonal crystal, there will be three sides. Example: Amethyst.
Instructions:
Isometric - This is also called the cubic crystal system. Example: Pyrite.
OrthorhombicThese crystals are short and stubby. Example: Topaz
Tetragonal - Typically, the crystals are shaped like foursided prisms and pyramids. Example: Zircon.
Hexagonal - These crystals are usually shaped like six-sided prisms or pyramids. Example: Beryl.
Monoclinic - Crystals are short and stubby with tilted faces at each end. Example: Glendonite.
Triclinic - Crystals are usually flat with sharp edges, but exhibit no right angles. Example: Turquoise.
1. Fill the jar with water. 2. Add about half a cup of salt to the water. 3. Mix the solution together with a spoon. 4. Cut a piece of string with scissors and tie each end to a toothpick. 5. Place the string over the top of the jar so that the string dangles into the middle of the solution and the toothpicks hang over the edge. 6. Don’t forget to clean up when you’ve finished. What next? Leave the experiment and wait for salt crystals to form along the string. They are an excellent example of growing cubic crystals. You can do further research with them by examining them under a microscope! When you look at various crystals under a microscope you can examine the differences between them: Are they perfectly formed? What shape are they? What color? Can you see any microorganisms on the crystals? Crystals can be found grouped together as lots of small crystals or as huge individual crystals. They vary in size from those at the microscopic level all they way up to crystals that are inches in length!
