Interestig Water Cycle Facts: Water is a resource that cannot be created by man.

Transpiration is the process by which water evaporates from plant leaves into the atmosphere.

The sun is the driving force of the water cycle.

When water evaporates into the atmosphere, it cools and condenses to form clouds through a process called condensation.

Whenever water changes from one state to another and moves from one place to another, it either gives off energy or absorbs energy.

Aquifers are underground water reservoirs made of rocks and minerals that store freshwater.

December 2021

Really old groundwater is called fossil water.

About 70% of the Earth's surface is covered with water.

Groundwater or water stored in the Earth's surface can remain there for thousands of years before moving.

Water is constantly being recycled so the water you drink today could be the same water dinosaurs drank millions of years ago.

Water is not only stored underground but also in icecaps, snow, and glaciers.

11

When the clouds get too heavy from collecting water, they release it through a process called precipitation.

Precipitation can occur in the form of falling rain, sleet, snow, or hail.

After water falls during precipitation, it either becomes a part of a body of water like an ocean or lake or it seeps into the ground.

Only about 3% of the water on Earth is freshwater or water that we can drink.

The awesome nature of electricity is overwhelming. A single blast of lighting could easily provide enough power to power one hundred light bulbs for over a day. Electricity is a type of energy it usually resides in two forms. Static electricity is formed when electricity gathers in one location. Moving electricity is referred to as current electricity. The innovation of battery technologies has really taken the forefront of the new designs and use of electricity as we move for a greener tomorrow.

Edits to Build Why Is It Cold in Winter?

Earths axis is tilted, so as we orbit the Sun, the angle of the sunlight hitting our planet change's through out the year. In December, people in the northern Hemisphere feel colder because they are tilted away form the Sun. at the same time, people in the Southern Hemispere are tilter toward the Sun, makeing it warmer in tat part of the world.

22

Answer Key

Earth's axis is tilted, so as we orbit the Sun, the angle of the sunlight hitting our planet changes throughout the year. In December, people in the Northern Hemisphere feel colder because they are tilted away from the Sun. At the same time, people in the Southern Hemisphere are tilted toward the Sun, making it warmer in that part of the world.

Color Blindness

What Teachers Should Know Color blindness is caused by problems in the color-detecting nerve cells located in the back of the eye, called cones. As a result, some people have trouble telling the difference between red and green (the most common kind of color blindness), and between blue and yellow. Achromatopsia is a rare a form of color blindness in which people can't see any colors — they only see shades of gray.

Symptoms of color blindness usually aren't noticed until children start learning the names of colors.

Kids and teens who are color blind see shapes, lines, and everything that anyone else can, they just don't think about certain colors the way others do.

Color Blind Test

26

People who are color blind see normally in other ways and can do normal things, such as drive. They just learn to respond to the way traffic signals light up, knowing that the red light is generally on top and green is on the bottom. Some people can use special contact lenses and glasses to help them see some color differences, but there is no cure for color blindness.

Students who are color blind may:

nbe unable to tell the difference between certain colors or

shades of similar colors nhave trouble with certain assignments or projects that require them to use color nbe sensitive to light in the classroom and need seating accommodations nfeel self-conscious or frustrated about their color blindness nbe at risk for teasing or bullying because of color blindness

What Teachers Can Do

Getting to know and understand what color blind students can and cannot see — from parents or guardians, other teachers, and the student themselves — will help you understand and meet their needs much better.

Ways to help a student with color blindness include:

nwriting in black on a whiteboard instead of using colors (or using white chalk on the blackboard instead of colored chalk) nmaking copies of handouts with a high black/white contrast, and not on colored paper nwriting out the names of colors if they are relevant to instruction (yellow sun, green frog, etc.) nmaking sure art supplies or other supplies with colors are appropriately labeled December 2021

Acne

Acne is a skin condition that shows up as different types of bumps. They include whiteheads, blackheads, red bumps (pimples), and bumps that are filled with pus (called pustules).

What causes these annoying bumps? Well, your skin is covered with tiny holes called hair follicles, or pores. Pores contain sebaceous (say: suh-BAY-shus) glands (also called oil glands) that make sebum (say: SEE-bum), an oil that moistens your hair and skin.

34

If a pore gets clogged up, closes, and bulges out from the skin, that's a whitehead. If a pore clogs up but stays open, the top surface can get dark and you're left with a blackhead. Sometimes the walls of the pore are broken, allowing sebum, bacteria, and dead skin cells to get under the skin. This causes a small, red infection called a pimple. Clogged-up pores that open up deep in the skin can lead to bigger infections known as cysts.

December 2021

Why Do So Many Kids Get Acne?

A lot of kids and teens get a type of acne called acne vulgaris. It usually appears on the face, neck, shoulders, upper back, and chest. Teens and kids get acne because of the hormone changes that come with puberty. As you grow up and your body begins to develop, these hormones stimulate the sebaceous glands to make more sebum, and the glands can become overactive. When there is too much sebum, that oil clogs the pores and leads to acne.

What Can I Do About Acne?

If you're worried about acne, here are some ways to keep pimples away: lTo help prevent the oil buildup that can lead to acne, wash your face

36

once or twice a day with warm water and a mild soap or cleanser. lDon't scrub your face. Scrubbing can actually make acne worse by irritating the skin. Wash gently, using your hands instead of a washcloth. lIf you wear makeup, moisturizer, or sunscreen, make sure they are "oilfree," "noncomedogenic," or "nonacnegenic." lWhen you wash your face, take the time to remove all of your makeup. lIf you use hair sprays or gels, try to keep them away from your face because they can clog pores. lIf you have long hair, keep it away from your face and wash it regularly to reduce oil. lBaseball caps and other hats can cause pimples along the hairline. lAvoid them if you think they are making your acne worse. lWash your face after you've been exercising and sweating a lot. lTry not to touch your face. lDon't pick, squeeze, or pop pimples.

Many lotions and creams are sold at drugstores to help prevent acne and clear it up. You can try different ones to see which helps. Products with benzoyl peroxide (say: BEN-zoil peh-ROK-side) or salicylic (say: sal-uh-SIL-ick) acid in them are usually pretty helpful for treating acne.

December 2021

Even if you get acne, you don't want to make it worse. That's why it's important to keep your hands off your pimples. Try not to touch, squeeze, or pick at a pimple. When you play around with pimples, you can cause even more inflammation by poking at them or opening them up. Plus, the oil from your hands can't help! The worst part, though, is that picking at pimples may lead to scars on your face.

CLINIC

Some people will tell you that sitting out in the sun helps acne. But this isn't true. A suntan can make acne look less severe by hiding pimples, but it won't help them go away. And too much sun isn't a good idea anyway because it can give you a sunburn today and wrinkles and skin cancer later in life.

Kids who have serious acne can get help from their doctor or a dermatologist (a doctor who treats skin problems). Doctors can prescribe stronger medicine than you can buy at the store. Acne prescriptions can include stronger creams that prevent pimples from forming or antibiotics that decrease swelling (puffiness) and kill bacteria that cause pimples.

If you have acne, now you know some ways to improve your skin.

And remember that you're not alone.

Look around at your friends and you'll see that most kids and teens are in it together! www.kidzine.net

Ostrich The Ostrich is the world's largest bird.

The male is called a cock and the female is called a hen.

40

There are two basic types of Ostrich - one has a pink neck and pink legs, the other has a blue neck and blue legs.

They can't fly but they can run very fast - up to 43 miles per hour!

They have very strong legs. This not only helps with running, but also selfdefence.

Their wings help them to balance when they are running and are useful for quick changes in direction.

They also use their wings to communicate, for courtship and to shelter their young.

The span of their wings is about 7 feet.

Unlike all other birds which have three or four toes, the Ostrich only has two.

December 2021

They don't have teeth, so they store food at the top of their throat (the crop) until a lump forms which is big enough to slide down their neck.

They swallow pebbles and stones to grind the lumps in a special internal pouch (the gizzard).

The birds are also farmed for meat, leather and eggs.

41

In the past, the Ostrich was hunted for its feathers and was almost extinct. Now, the birds are farmed for their feathers.

Feathers are collected during the molting season, leaving the birds unharmed.

The Ostrich is native to Africa but it roams widely in search of food.

One Ostrich egg can weigh as much as 3 pounds that's the same as 24 chicken eggs! An Ostrich can lay as many as 60 eggs in one year. www.kidzine.net

Ostriches eat insects and plants as well as small animals such as lizards.

The largest Ostrich egg ever recorded was laid by a domestic bird in Sweden. It weighed 5 pounds, 11 ounces.

They have excellent eyesight and hearing and can sense danger from long distances.

They rarely drink water as it is produced inside their body.

Water is also extracted from the vegetation they consume.

When they do find water, they like to bath in it!

In the wild, they usually live for between 30 and 45 years. In captivity they can live for up to 70 years.

ANSWERS: 1.Two, 2.The gizzard, 3.Lions, leopards, hyenas or cheetahs, 4.Meat, leather and eggs, 5.About 7 feet, 6.True, 7.Three, 8.5 pounds, 11 ounces, 9.Water is produced in their body, 10.Courtship and shelter.

42

They have 3 sets of eyelids!

An Ostrich eye measures almost 2 inches across (the largest of any land animal).

Their eye is bigger than their brain!

December 2021

Jackals, mongoose and birds of prey will hunt for young ostrich and ostrich eggs.

The main predators of an ostrich are lions, leopards, hyenas and cheetahs.

If they feel threatened, they lie down and stretch their neck along the ground. In this position, they look like clumps of bush or rocks.

43

In some African countries, Ostriches are used for racing just like horses!

The peach is a member of the rose family.

44

Did you know there are over 700 varieties of peach?

The fruit originates from China where it is a symbol of good luck, protection and longevity.

China is still the world’s biggest producer of peaches, with Italy coming in second.

The peach tree is often referred to as the ‘tree of life’. It can be identified by its flowers which have five pink petals.

December 2021

45

There are two basic types of peach – clingstone and freestone. In clingstone peaches, the flesh ‘clings’ to the stone making it difficult to separate. In freestone peaches, the flesh separates easily from the stone, making it easier to eat!

A peach has less than 70 calories and is a great source of vitamins A and C. It also good for digestion. www.kidzine.net

Peach stones are large, oval and woody. They also contain hydrocyanic acid which is poisonous so stick to eating the flesh, not the stone!

Peaches are deliciously sweet and can be enjoyed straight from the tree, in juices or desserts. They are also great in ice-cream, yogurts and jams.

The fruit is considered a natural aid for refreshing skin and is often used in moisturizers and cosmetics.

46

8.The peach tree is often referred to as what?

9.What shape is a peach stone?

10.Why are peaches used in moisturizers?

December 2021

Nectarine is a type of peach – it has smooth skin instead of the velvety skin usually associated with peaches.

The world’s largest peach was produced in Gaffney, South Carolina. It weighed over 10,000 pounds! A peachshaped water tower was built in the city back in 1981.

In Hungary, they believe the peach to be a good stress-reliever and refer to it as the ‘fruit of calmness’.

In the United States, August is national peach month! So many peaches are grown in Georgia, it became known as the Peach State.

It is the third most popular fruit in America.

Alexander Graham Bell

Inventor of the Telephone Alexander Graham Bell was born in 1847 in Edinburgh, Scotland. He was an engineer and scientist and he invented the telephone in 1876.

Both his mother and his wife were death. This influenced his research on hearing devices. Despite his life-changing invention, he considered the telephone an intrusion and refused to have one in his study!

48

Working from his laboratory in Boston and his home in Canada, he experimented with a pen-like machine that recorded sound waves by tracing their vibrations. He believed it may be possible to generate electrical currents that matched sound waves. He also thought that multiple metal reeds tuned to different frequencies could convert the currents back into sound.

Bell lacked the necessary equipment required to continue his experiments until he met an electrical designer named Thomas A. Watson. Together, they worked on acoustic telegraphy which eventually led to the 'gallows' sound-powered telephone. This transmitted indistinct, voice-like sounds but not clear speech.

Bell patented the acoustic telegraph in 1876 and three days after the patent was issued he succeeded in getting his telephone to work. He did this using a liquid transmitter.

December 2021

He demonstrated his new invention to the public, gaining international attention and was asked to demonstrate it personally to Queen Victoria who declared it 'most extraordinary'.

The Bell Telephone Company was created in 1877 and by 1886, more than 150,000 people in the U.S. owned a telephone.

49

In 1915, Bell made the first transcontinental telephone call from New York City to San Francisco.

Whilst he is best known for his invention of the telephone, Bell was granted a total of 30 patents (18 in his name alone and 12 shared). His other inventions included a metal jacket to assist in breathing, the audiometer to detect minor hearing problems and a device to locate icebergs.

Bell died in August 1922.

Immediately after his funeral, every telephone in North America was silenced in his honor.

Alexander Graham Bell's famous quote: “In scientific researches, there are no unsuccessful experiments; every experiment contains a lesson. If we don’t get the results anticipated and stop right there, it is the man that is unsuccessful, not the experiment” www.kidzine.net

Huawei tablets are equipped with a built-in gravity sensor that can determine whether the user is lying flat, with prompts to encourage them to adjust their posture accordingly. There is even an algorithm that detects when the tablet is shaking (in case the child is using the tablet while walking or in a car), which can remind your child to use it in a stable state, therefore developing better eye habits. Furthermore, when eBook mode is enabled, the tablet automatically adjusts the contrast, brightness, sharpness, saturation, colour temperature, grayscale and other parameters on the display to offer a quality reading experience that closely resembles that of reading a physical book.

Parents can choose which apps children can use through app management, and also select the videos and photos that they let their kid see through content management, meaning parents can be assured of their child’s safety.

THE eb ottli G l Pau ipkow N Television has become a huge part of our everyday life. It provides entertainment, news, advertisements and so much more for people of all ages. The television was not invented by just one person; many people throughout history contributed ideas and inventions to make TV what it is today.

Over time people experimented with the idea of mixing electricity and radio to see what would happen. This was the starting point and the beginning of the invention of television.

Nipkow’s “electric scope” was the first device to transmit pictures, in the late 1800s

The very first mechanical television, invented by Charles Jenkins in 1923.

During the late 1800s, Paul Gottlieb Nipkow, a student in Germany created the very first device to transmit pictures with light. He did this by sending pictures through wires which rotated on a metal disk. This was called the “electric scope.” Inspired by Nipkow, an American inventor called Charles Jenkins invented the first mechanical television system in 1923. He called this device “Radiovision,” which he preferred over the name television. It was known to have poor reception and a 40 to 48 line picture that tended to be cloudy.

Charles

Jenkins publicly performed his first television broadcast in Anacostia, Virginia all the way to Washington only a couple years after. In 1926, A British inventor named John Logie Baird transmitted the first moving pictures through the same mechanical disks that Nipkow had experimented with. This was followed by the very first TV studio which was located at the Crystal Palace in London. He used transparent rods and reflected light rather than back-lighting silhouettes.

Philo Taylor Farnsworth’s invention of the very first electrical television.

Philo Taylor Farnsworth created the first electronic television system which got rid of the metal rotating disks. By 1934 all the televisions sets had been converted to electronic device, which is what we are still using to this day. Black and white TV was the standard, with color television showing up much later.

aylor Philo T orth Farnsw

RCA was the founder of color television and had its first broadcast on December 17, 1953. These progressions in modern television set up the foundation for the plasma and HDTV screens you see today!
