The weather is different all around the world. Some parts of the world have extreme heat while other parts of the world have freezing temperatures. The northern hemisphere of the world generally has colder climates, but the southern hemisphere usually has hotter climates.  The closer that a location is to the Equator, the warmer weather they have and the more rain they have.

oFor example, Anchorage Alaska has an average temperature of 25 degrees Fahrenheit and cloudy skies in January. Melbourne, Australia, however, has 63 degree temperatures on average.

oIn conclusion, depending on where you are around the world, the climates are extremely diverse!

Migration comes in two forms: Immigration into a new place, and Emigration out of a previous place. Migrants are people who move from one place to another. Migrants choose to leave their countries for various reasons. Sometimes these reasons are political, economic or religious. Migrants are considered refugees when they are fleeing a country because of danger or risk to their lives, such as war or religious persecution. For example, there are many refugees fleeing from Ukraine because of the war currently. However, other immigrants move to a new country because they desire a better life for their family. Their motivation could be that they struggle to find work in their current location or that they hope to earn more money in a new country. Whatever the reason, immigrants make important journeys all over the world and share their languages, foods, and cultures with the people they live with.

Imagine you are a reporter for a school newspaper. Your task is to inform your classmates about migration trends around the world.

What is migration and who are immigrants and refugees? Describe some reasons why migrants move to a new place, and explain the challenges that they might face.

Many parts of life can be diverse, like ecosystems, animals, and even foods!

Cultural diversity is very important. Cultural diversity is when a group of people is different. For example, the people can be from different countries, have different beliefs, and diverse interests. Every culture has special foods, traditions, religions, music, and activities that distinguish them from each other.  Without these differences, the world would be boring.

Can you imagine if every person in your school was exactly the same? Cultural diversity in schools is crucial for fostering a rich and inclusive learning environment.  It enhances the overall educational experience and prepares individuals for the diverse world they will navigate beyond the school walls.

For example, students can be culturally diverse when they have different beliefs, interests, hobbies, and traditions that come from their home countries.

Now it's your turn. Why is cultural diversity important in schools?

Mitosis is a process that happens in cells, and it's a way for cells to make more cells. Imagine you have a single cell, like the seed of a plant. This cell needs to grow and become two cells that are exactly the same.

Here's how mitosis works:

1.    Copying the DNA: First, the cell makes a copy of its DNA. DNA is like a set of instructions that tells the cell how to grow and function.

2.    Dividing the Cell: After the DNA is copied, the cell divides into two. It's like splitting the original cell into two identical parts.

3.    Two Identical Cells: Now, you have two cells, and each of them has the same set of instructions (DNA) as the original cell. They are like twins because they are exactly alike.

So, mitosis is like a cell making a copy of itself and then splitting into two identical cells. This process happens when living things need to grow, repair damaged cells, or replace old cells with new ones. It's an essential part of how living organisms, including plants and animals, keep their bodies working properly.

Nina, how would you describe the process of mitosis?

Now, it’s your turn. What happens during the process of mitosis? Why is each phase important?
