Hi, I am George Amato, and I'm a molecular biologist. Sometimes the government calls me to help solve mysteries, like this time in 1993. One of their officers told me he had spotted some suspicious packages at Kennedy Airport in New York City. These boxes contained handbags and shoes.

By looking at the pattern on the reptile skins, the officer had a hunch they were made from Yacare caiman, a relative of the crocodile and alligator.

My blood started to boil. "But the Yacare caiman is a protected species," I said into the phone. "Bringing skins of that animal into the U.S. is against the law!"

"Exactly!" said the guy at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. "That's why the officer seized the shoes and handbags from the reptile skin importer."

"So, what's the problem?" I asked.

"The importer said it was not a protected caiman," he said.
The importer claimed that it's impossible to tell the difference between caimans just by comparing skin patters. This disagreement went to court. And that's where I came to the rescue.

First, I took samples of the reptile skins to my lab at the American Museum of Natural History. Then, I made lots of copies of the the DNA, so it was easier to study. Next, I used a machine to figure out the DNA's sequence, which looks like a long string of letters. Finally, I compared this skin's sequence with other crocodilian sequences in our DNA computer library. It was a perfect match to the Yacare caiman! Those shoes and handbags were definitely made from a legally protected species.

I gave this report to the judge. Based on the DNA evidence, the judge agreed that the skins were illegal. The skins were taken away and the importer had to pay a fine.

 "The Farmer Who Shared" By Sherya Sharma

# data[].attributes.body
There once was a farmer who had great fields of corn. She grew the best corn in the area. She won first prize at the state fair every year, and everyone flocked to her fields in late summer to enjoy her delicious harvest.

One day, a news reporter went to interview the farmer and ask her about her secrets to success. Days of research before the interview revealed to the reporter that the farmer would always share her best-producing seeds with the neighboring farms.

When it came for the interview, the reporter was loaded with a powerful question. The reporter asked, “Ma’am, why did you share your best seeds with your neighbors, knowing that they are also going to enter their corn into the competition against you. Wouldn't this make it difficult for you to win?”

The farmer looked up and took a deep breath before she replied. The farmer answered, “During the season when the strong wind comes across the fields, pollen from the ripening corn is swirled from field to field. It is very important to understand that if my neighbors grow poor corn, the cross-pollination will ultimately degrade the quality of my own corn. So, If I want to grow great corn, I must help my neighbor grow good corn as well.”

2. I will create a mind map of the key information presented in the article. I will draw it in my notebook.
3. I will write a letter to the scientist, Ms. Melissa, explaining what I understood from the article and asking her if she could provide more information about the FTO gene.

1) Before reading the text, with a partner create a mind map for the word “habit”.
"Atomic Habits” is a book written by James Clear, an American. It is based on personal experience about
changing habits.
2) Let’s read part of an interview with James Clear about his book, “Atomic Habits”.
Interviewer: Why did you decide to write about habits?
James Clear: Habits are among the most important topics to understand in life for different reasons. First, habits
can provide external results. They can help you lose weight, increase your income, be more productive, reduce
stress, and so on.
You get what you repeat. Habits also shape our identity and beliefs. Another reason I decided to write about
habits is because I felt there were many books that discuss how habits work from a scientific or philosophical
level, but there was not yet a book that provided readers with a step-by-step, practical manual for how to
actually change a habit. My hope is that "Atomic Habits" can be that manual.
Interviewer: What exactly is an atomic habit?
James Clear: I chose the phrase “atomic habits” for three reasons.
The first one you might expect. The word “atomic” can mean tiny or small, like an atom. One of the central
features of my philosophy is that habits should be small and easy to do.
The second reason is that the word atomic can also mean “the fundamental unit in a larger system.” Atoms form
molecules, molecules form compounds, etc. In a sense, habits are like the atoms of our lives. They are small
routines—fundamental units—that combine into the overall system of our life.
And finally, atomic can mean “the source of immense energy or power.
(source: https://www.quietrev.com/atomic-habits/)
3) I will look up the words in bold in a dictionary and find their Arabic translations.
4)I will answer the following comprehension questions:
a) According to the author, what kind of book is “Atomic Habits”?
b) According to the author, how are habits similar to atoms? Draw a diagram of how they are similar with
labels.
5) I will prepare an oral presentation with a poster about good and bad habits that I have. I will also include in
my oral presentation a plan on how I can change my bad habits using tiny steps.
6) I will listen to my classmates present their oral presentations and ask 1-2 questions about the presentation

You look through the oven window. It looks like a monster is coming alive. For a moment، it sits there quietly، then ripples move across its surface. It triples in volume. Its color darkens and its surface hardens، creating hills and craters like the surface of the moon. Then the oven timer rings. Your cookies are ready. What happened inside that oven? Don’t let the apron trick you! Bakers are scientists! When you slide the pan into the oven، you are pushing the start button on several chemical reactions that transform one substance، dough، into another، cookies. Here are two of these reactions. When the dough reaches 33.33 Celisus، the butter inside melts، making the dough spread out. Butter is an emulsion، or a mixture of two substances that don’t want to stay together. In this case water and fat، along with dairy solids that help hold them together. As the butter melt, its trapped water is released. As the cookie gets hotter, the water expands into steam. It pushes against the dough from the inside, trying to escape through the cookie walls.

# data[].attributes.body
I will define the words written in bold and write their parts of speech (noun, verb, adjective, etc.)
----------From the text, I will understand that emulsion means---------------
I will summarize the process of chemical reaction by writing the steps.

Did you know your brain is  more powerful than any computer? Our brains are pretty amazing! The brain is a 3-pound wrinkly, pink organ that is soft like a mushroom. Luckily, it is protected by eight bones. In a split second, our brain can notice a glass is going to fall off the counter and control everything
to stop that mess from happening. Your eyes see what’s going on and tell your brain how quickly you need to react. Then, your muscles spring into action. The brain even controls our heart to keep beating and our lungs to keep working while we are asleep.

“Nutrition is very important during pregnancy.” What do you think?      -Read this article and answer the following questions. 

# data[].attributes.body
A healthy diet is very important through your pregnancy to nourish the
growing baby inside you. It is also important to eat nutritious food so
that your body is able to cope with the changes it goes through during
pregnancy. Here’s a guide to healthy eating in every trimester.
• First trimester
The first few months of pregnancy require a diet rich in folates. Folic
acid is an important addition to your diet. Include foods such as oranges,
sweet potatoes, legumes. You will also need calcium, so include dairy
products as well as other good sources of calcium are dark and green
leafy vegetables like broccoli.
• Second trimester
By the time you’re into the second trimester, your body needs an additional 300-500 calories per
day to help your baby grow. Add good fats such as avocado, salmon and fish liver oil in your diet.
And also make sure to include enough iron, meats, whole grain and dried fruits. Also, add a lot of
protein rich food like lean meat, fish, eggs, and eat sweet potatoes, whole wheat pasta, sweet corn,
seeds and nuts.
• Third trimester
For this crucial time, you’ll need these five nutrients: Vitamin C, calcium, magnesium, Omega 3
fatty acids and choline. In your third trimester, you must eat fresh fruit (berries, banana, melon
etc.), lentils, fresh green salad with radish, tomato, lettuce, beans and chickpeas. Make sure to drink
plenty of fluids to stay hydrated.

First mission
In a group of four, write three questions about the text. Then, exchange questions with another
group. Each group will have different set of questions.
Second mission
Each group will work on designing a poster that shows the healthy food a pregnant woman should
eat in each month. Then, groups should post their works on the school’s website/ Facebook page.

Read the text about global Warming and do the following tasks.
The earth, as we already know, goes around the sun. It is the sun that warms the air surrounding the earth, bringing about different types of climate in different areas. The air that surrounds the earth is called the atmosphere and it is composed of a combination of different gasses such as carbon dioxide and methane. But if there are too many of these gasses in the atmosphere that come from human activities, it will make our world hotter and bring about a harmful climate change.
Gasses act like the glass walls of a greenhouse, allowing some of the sun’s rays to enter, reflecting back harmful radiation from the sun and keeping some warmth close to the earth, making the earth a place where we can live. Some of the heat that comes from the sun is reflected by the greenhouse gasses and by the earth, and then goes back into space. Some of the warmth of the sun is trapped by the greenhouse gasses and stays in the atmosphere, keeping the earth warm. If this was not the case, it would be very cold on Earth – too cold for humans to live. This natural process is called the greenhouse effect. However, humans are adding more of these gasses into the atmosphere with activities such as burning oil and gas to run factories, to generate power and for transportation, land development or simply farming. Destroying or damaging forests is another human activity that produces more gases. This includes large-scale logging, mining, forest fires, and expansion of agricultural land. The greenhouse effect is becoming stronger, and the result is global warming.
Scientists already have documented these impacts of climate change. Ice is melting worldwide, especially at the Earth’s poles. Much of this melting ice contributes to sea-level rise. Rising temperatures are affecting wildlife and their habitats. Vanishing ice has challenged species such as the penguin in Antarctica. Precipitation ( rain and snowfall) has increased across the globe, on average. Yet some regions are experiencing more severe drought, increasing the risk of wildfires, lost crops, and drinking water shortages.
