DID YOU KNOW...DID YOU KNOW...The earth is a globe and can be divided into lots of lines called latitudeand longitude. Longitude lines run north and south; Latitude lines run east

and west. The lines measure distances in degrees.

But where do you start? Where is 0 degrees?Well, that depends on whether you're looking for 0 degrees latitude or 0 degreeslongitude. They are different things. The equator is 0 degree latitude. Thisimaginary line, which runs through parts of South America, Africa, and Asia, isofficially the halfway point between the North Pole and the South Pole.

The prime meridian is 0 degrees longitude. This imaginary line runs through the UnitedKingdom, France, Spain, western Africa, and Antarctica. By using the equator and primemeridian, we can divide the world into fourhemispheres, north, south, east, and west.For instance, the United States is in the WesternHemisphere (because it is west of the primemeridian) and also in the Northern Hemisphere(because it is north of the equator).

space. Basically, write whatever comes into your mind. Do not judge orcorrect what you are writing. It may look like a jumbled mess, but it isused to open your mind and be creative.

Drafting is when you create an entire paper with the main components of the essay.Revising is the process of changing words or adding ideas that help clarify the themethroughout a paper. Editing your paper consists of checking for correct punctuation. TheFinal Draft allows you one last read through to check spelling and punctuation.

EARTH’S COMPOSITIONThe earth's composition consists of several layers.There are three main layers; the core, mantle andcrust. The core is the center of the earth, the crustis the outer layer and between them is the mantle.

The inner core of the earth is very hot. It heats to about 13,000°F and consists of theelements iron/nickel. The outer core is composedof iron and nickel as well but in a liquid state. Thenext layer is the mantle, then the crust. The crustcould be considered land or water. Finally, theearth is completely surrounded by the planet’satmosphere.

THE THREEBRANCHESOF SCIENCEScience is broken into threeCategories: The Physical Sciencesthat deal with energy, gravity, lightand time; The Earth Sciences thatdeal with oceans, atmosphere,weather, climate, and geologicalperiods (fossils); The Life Sciencesthat study plants, animal life,heredity, and medicine.

PROPERTIES OFOBJECTS AND MATERIALSThe three classifications are solid, liquid, and gas. Solids, liquids and gases are the threestates of matter. All matter is made from small particles. These particles are called atomsand molecules.

SOLIDS: Solids are made of a combination of elements and they do not changeshape. They keep their shape unless they are broken, they do not flow, and cannot becompressed (keeping the same volume).

Example: (Rocks, Glass, etc.) Imagine a chair, and try to imagine what it would be like if it weremade from a liquid. Would it keep it’s shape? Could you sit on it? What would happen?

LIQUIDS: Liquids are not a solid, but not yet a gas. They do not keep their shape,but they take the shape of and/or fill the container they are in. Liquids do flow and can-not be compressed (keeping the same volume).

Example: (Water, Blood, etc.) Liquids are used where we need something to flow, for making adrink, or when we need something to take up the shape of a container such as a glass. An exampleof this would be making jelly. Jelly (solid) is first turned into a liquid (dissolving) so that it can fill upa jar. It is then left to set up or change back to solid, so that it keeps its shape to become jelly.

GASES: Gases are spread out atoms. They do not keep their shape, and they completely fill the container shape or size that they are in. Gases flow, spreading outquickly from where they are to start with (diffusion). Gases can also be compressedand/or squashed into a much smaller volume.

Example: The atmosphere around the earth is filled with gases.

THE LIFETHE LIFESCIENCESSCIENCES(Biology)(Biology)

Physics: The science that deals with matter and energy and their interactions in the fields that would include: optics,heat, electricity, magnetism, atomic structure, and others.

Chemistry: The study of the elements, the compounds they form, and the reactions they undergo. Chemists try todiscover new and useful compounds. They do their work by using the results of experiments to prove their theories, basedon what they are made of and how they work. Chemistry is divided into three main branches; physical chemistry, inorganic chemistry and organic chemistry.

Astronomy: Astronomy is the scientific study of the planets, stars, galaxies and the universe.

Geology: The study of the planet earth – the materials it is made of, the processes that act on those materials, theproducts formed, and the history of the planet and its life forms since its origin.

Oceanography: The exploration and the study of the oceans.

Paleontology: A branch of science that deals with extinct and fossil animals and plants.

Meteorology: The science that deals with the phenomena of the atmosphere, climate, especially weatherand weather conditions.

Botany: The study of plant life, its structure and functions.

Zoology: The study of animals including mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, insects, spiders, and mollusks.

Genetics: The study of heredity and how traits are passed on through generations.

Medicine: The science of diagnosing, treating, or preventing disease and other damage to the body or mind.

TRIVIAQUESTION:How long will an astronaut's footprints stay on the moon?

Millions of years (Because there is no wind to blow them away.)

SMART EATING!Eating smart means eating healthy! Geteveryone involved by encouraging your familymembers to keep dried fruits and freshvegetables on hand. Fruits and vegetables suchas baby carrots, dried apricots and apples makegreat snacks. Not only are they great snacks,they’re loaded with vitamins, too!

Go nuts everyday! Different kinds of nuts,such as peanuts or almonds, are easy to eat onthe run. They are high in fat, but some of the fatis actually good for you!

Get stronger! Getting a daily dose of calciumcan help you do that. Milk is a great source ofcalcium. Other sources of calcium are cheese,yogurt and orange juice.

Fast food means fast fat! Most fast food isvery fattening. If you eat at a fast-food place, it'sbest not to load up on the greasy stuff. Try toorder a salad or frozen yogurt instead of frenchfries or onion rings. Avoid the supersize, and tryto order the smallest burger. This will help you getless fat, while still having a good lunch.

STOP THE POP! Drink less soda. Soda is full ofsugar and has no nutritional value. It lacks calcium and vitamins, which is what your bodyneeds. If you drink more than a can of soda a day,try drinking flavored water or a sport drink instead.

Exercise is a lot of fun and helps keep your mind and body feeling great. Kids who exercise regularly often do better in school, sleep better, are less likely to be overweight, and are stronger than less-active kids. Regular exercise can help improve your mood and relieve stress.Get moving – limit your TV, electronic game and computer time to only one or two hours a day. For a strong and healthy body, you need to exercise at least one hour every day. Try different types of physical activities to work all of your muscles.

1) Stretching: Before and after you start any exercises, take a few minutes to stretch your muscles. This will warm them up and get them ready to start working harder. Ask your teachers or parents to show you some good stretches.

2) Aerobic (means “with air”): By doing these types of exercises, your heart will beat faster and you will breathe harder, which will make your heart and other muscles stronger: basketball, riding a bike, skating, soccer, swimming, dancing, playing tag, walking and running.

3) Strengthening: These exercises will make your arm, leg and stomach muscles stronger: push-ups, pull-ups, stomach crunches (sit-ups), wrestling, climbing and playing on the monkey bars.

EXERCISE YOUR BODY — FEEL GREAT!
