GULF INDIAN HIGH SCHOOL NOVEMBER 2017 - QGP STUDY MATERIALS GRADE -1 LESSON 1 - INVENTIONS/DISCOVERIES DISCOVERY OR INVENTION? Are discoveries any different from inventions? Yes, they are very different. Discovery means finding out something new which exists, but was earlier unknown. For example, people discovered gold in the gold rush in 19th and early 20th centuries. The gold had always been there, but people just found out about it one day. Discovery could be as small as you discovering one morning that your sock has a tiny hole Invention on the other hand means to make or create something new that never existed before. For example, Insulin a medicine for people whose pancreas don t function properly was invented by Frederick Banting. Airplanes were invented by the Wright Brothers and the the father of computing, Charles Babbage invented computers. While inventions usually are extremely helpful and give to the society, a discovery may or may not always be very helpful. What is the difference between a scientist and an inventor? In general terms a scientist is a person who studies nature and makes theories and discoveries as to how nature works using the scientific method. An inventor takes the laws and theories of science and puts them to practical use by humans. Many people are both scientists and inventors. For example, Isaac Newton was a scientist when he wrote about the theory of gravity, but he was also an inventor when he made the first working reflecting telescope. Inventions/Discoveries 1.

For more details, please follow the link below - http://www.defenders.org/animal-factsheets Basic Facts about Black Bears The American black bear is the smallest of the three bears species found in North America Black bear fur is usually a uniform color except for a brown muzzle and light markings that sometimes appear on their chests American black bears are omnivorous: plants, fruits, nuts, insects, honey, salmon, small mammals and carrion.. The American black bear is distributed throughout North America, from Canada to Mexico Black bears are extremely adaptable and show a great variation in habitat types, though they are primarily found in forested areas with thick ground vegetation and an abundance of fruits, nuts, and vegetation.. Black bears tend to be solitary animals, with the exception of mothers and cubs. Basic Facts About Jaguars The jaguar is the largest cat in the Americas. The jaguar has a compact body, a broad head and powerful jaws. Its coat is normally yellow and tan, but the color can vary from reddish brown to black. The spots on the coat are more solid and black on the head and neck As a top-level carnivore, the big cat helps prevent overgrazing of vegetation by keeping its prey populations in balance. Jaguars are also important in human culture, Frequently playing a central role in stories, songs and prayers of indigenous people. Yet today, jaguars have been almost completely eliminated from the United States.
Jaguars are known to eat deer, peccary, crocodiles, snakes, monkeys, deer, sloths, tapirs, turtles, eggs, frogs, fish and anything else they can catch. The jaguar is the third-largest living feline species, after the tiger and lion.. Jaguars are solitary animals and live and hunt alone, except during mating season. The jaguar hunts mostly on the ground, but it sometimes climbs a tree and pounces on its prey from above. It has very powerful jaws and sharp teeth and usually kills its prey with one crushing bite to the skull. Unlike most big cats, the jaguar loves the water it often swims, bathes, plays and even hunts for fish in streams and pools. Like all members of the big cat family, jaguars can roar. The jaguar s roar sounds like a deep, chesty cough.

Insects are cold blooded. Silkworms are used as the primary producer of silk. Most insects hatch from eggs. Some cicadas can make sounds nearly 120 decibels loud. The life cycle of a mosquito features four stages, egg, larva, pupa and adult. Female mosquitoes drink blood in order to obtain nutrients needed to produce eggs. Spiders are not insects. Bees are found on every continent except Antarctica. Ants leave trails and communicate with each other using pheromones as chemical signals
