Trees are pretty much amazing in every way! They have many different kinds,colors,shapes and sizes. They are beautiful,but do you know that trees are helpful too? They take in harmful gases and provide us with clean oxygen. Wow!
What other fun facts about trees do we know?Read below to find out!
Trees have 4 main parts
Trees are made up of four main parts:roots,trunk,branches,and leaves. A tree begins at the roots. Roots are usually underground,but sometimes they can be underwater or even found above ground. From the roots,grows the trunk. The trunk rises upward and helps the other parts of the tree grow. Finally,covering the branches are the leaves that help the tree create energy from the sun.
Trees can provide food
When trees look like they aren't doing much,they are working. Trees are homes and food for birds and other animals. Animals and humans eat fruits,seeds and leaves from trees.
Trees can help show the direction
A tree can be used to tell direction. For example,how the branches of a tree grow can help show direction. Branches that point straight out are likely pointing south. How interesting!
As you see,trees are an important part of our world. Do you know any other fun facts about trees?We'd love for you to share them with us!
A. Look carefully at its branches! B. Trees actually keep us healthy! C. Branches then come out from the trunk in all different directions. D. They make their own food by changing sunlight and air into sugars. E. They keep us healthy,provide us with food,and can point us in the right direction. |
I have a few hobbies,but there is one I like the most,baking(烘焙). A few times I have sold my baking and made some money. But that is not why I bake. I bake because I love the feel of making people happy with my baking. Sometimes I share my baking with my study group. Everyone loves it,especially Lexi.
Lexi loves my cookies. However,she is never interested in baking them. Baking to her sounds like too much work.
I've tried different ways to get Lexi to like baking. I let her try a cookie after I made them,showing her what she can get after finishing baking. She wasn't so sure.
I tried letting Lexi bake herself to show her how fun it is. Again,she still wasn't sure.
I tried to let Lexi sell our baking. She did get some money,but she again wasn't sure that she liked baking.
I was slowly giving up. So I advised to do something relaxing. I asked Lexi to paint with me. Lexi started painting quietly. I found that her paintings looked so great. And I also saw the brightness in her eyes while she was painting. The brightness that I imagine is always in my eyes when I bake.
"Lexi," I said gently, "You found your hobby. "
"I what?" She asked.
"Your hobby. "
"Oh. I guess I did,right?Painting. Never thought much of it before. " Lexi answered.
"You should sell those pictures. They all look great. How about joining me at the School Fair?"
"That sounds great!"
For the rest of the week we talked a lot about our plan. I would sell cookies and she would make posters and sell her own paintings at my cookie stand.
On the day of the School Fair,we were so excited but also very nervous. At the end when we counted our money,we saw we had made 150 yuan.
"150 yuan!" I said excitedly.
"Yes!I can get the picture book that I've wanted for so long!!" Lexi replied,also excitedly.
Later,Lexi got her picture book. Not only that,but we both had our hobbies.
a. I asked Lexi to bake by herself.
b. I invited Lexi to the School Fair.
c. I found Lexi was good at painting.
d. Lexi started to know about her hobby.
e. Lexi got her picture book after the fair.
Here is my favorite water cycle experiment.
Before the experiment,teach your students about the water cycle and the following words:evaporation,condensation,precipitation and collection.
Water on Earth keeps going around in the water cycle. When the sun heats the water,some of it turns to a gas (water vapour). This is evaporation. Then this water vapour rises into the air.
When the water vapour meets the cold air in the sky, it turns back to water drops and collects in clouds. This is condensation.
When too many water drops form in a cloud,the cloud gets heavy and the water falls back to the earth as rain or snow. This is precipitation.
When the water falls back to the earth,it may fall back in the rivers,lakes,oceans or on the land. This is collection. When the sun heats the water,the cycle begins all over again.
This science experiment will help show the water cycle.
●Put a small cup in the center of a large bowl.
●Fill the bowl with water about 2/3 of the way up the cup (do not put water inside the cup).
●Cover the bowl with a plastic(塑料的) bag and tie it.
●Put it outside in a sunny area for a few hours.
After several hours,the plastic bag will have water drops on it and some of the water will have dropped into the cup.
This experiment shows the heat of the sun turning the water in the bowl to vapour. The vapour turns back to water drops on the plastic bag. Drops get too heavy and fall back down to the water in the bowl or in the cup just like mountains or land on Earth.
After the experiment,check students' understanding of the water cycle by asking them to draw a map of the journey of the water in the experiment.
