P A G E 2 Plants Did you know that plants are amazing organisms? An organism is a living thing. Plants need water, minerals, sun light, and fresh air. The parts of a plant are the roots, stem, and leaves. Each part of the plant has an important job. The roots are the part of the plant that grows underground. The roots help hold the plant in place so it doesn t blow away. Another thing that the roots do is get minerals and water from the soil. They deliver the water and minerals to the stem. Did you know that the stem helps the plant to stay upright? The stem also gives the nutrients to the leaves, and the leaves are connected to the leaves. The leaves create all of the food with the energy they get. They also use and take in carbon dioxide and sunlight to make the food. It mixes everything that it gets to make food for the plant. The parts of the plant are all very important. Without all of the parts the plant wouldn t survive. Animal Life Cycle All animals live different lengths of time, but they all have something in common. They all go through a lifecycle. The stages are birth, growth plus change, reproduction, and death. Birth is when an animal is born. When an animal grows and changes its body changes. Reproduction is when a new animal is born. Death is when a animal dies. These are the stages in an animal life cycle. M A X T I M E S

P A G E 4 How do a Soccer Rainbow Messi doing a rainbow. Have you ever seen a professional soccer player do a move? Some of them are the Maradona, Rainbow L, and V. There are many more I am going to teach you how to the Rainbow. You will just need a soccer ball with air. Here are the steps to do the Rainbow. Rainbows can be hard without directions. I am going to tell you the steps to do a Rainbow. First make sure the ball is not moving because it s much harder. Next make sure your strong foot is sideways and behind the ball, and your weak foot is right in front of the ball. This is the original way of doing the Rainbow. With your weak foot flick the ball into the air and when it s coming down flick it up again. This is how you get it over your head, or close to over your head. Make sure you don t run forward. The reason is it will hit you and not go over your head. I hope you try to do it. You can do this to get a goal but it s very hard or get it over an over a player. Other players do it like Messi, Ronald, and Nymar. Rocks and Minerals Rocks and minerals A mineral is a substance found in nature that is not plant or animal. Minerals are the building blocks of rocks. The different kinds of rocks are Igneous, Sedimentary, and Metamorphic Rocks. Igneous Rocks are Fire Made. They form when melted rock cools and hardens. Igneous Rocks cool slowly when inside earth, but they cool quickly on the surface. Volcanoes erupt from these types of rocks. Some examples are Granite and Basalt. Sedimentary Rocks form when sand, mud, and pebbles at the bottom of rivers, lakes, and oceans pile up. They press together and cement into solid rocks. Some examples are Sandstone, Shale, and Siltstones. Metamorphic means change in form. They change through squeezing and heating. Some examples are Marble and Gneiss. Now I hope you know more about rocks. M A X T I M E S

Conserve means to use less. All living things need water to survive. The article and video Adventures of Eco Rilla and saving our water are about the importance of saving our water. To help conserve we can take a shower instead of a bath, collect water in a barrel, and turn off the water while you are brushing your teeth. One way to save water is taking a shower instead of a bath. This is because showers take up a lot less water than baths do. The video says that you can save 100 liters of water by taking a shower instead of a bath. I am going to take a shower that s not as long as the one that I take right now. It could save 9 liters of water every minute less you take a shower. Another way to save water is collecting rain water in a barrel. The article says that you can use the rain water for watering plants, and even flushing the toilet! I am going to try watering plants. The last way I am going to tell you is turning off the water while you re brushing your teeth. The video says that you can save 30 liters of water if you turn off the water. Remember all living things need water to survive. If you do all of this you can make a difference. Spread the word conserve. M A X T I M E S
