It's a first! Solar plane goes around the world
For the first time, an airplane powered by the sun flew around the world. It landed in the city of Abu Dhabi last week.
The plane is called Solar Impulse 2. Its wings absorb power from the sun. Batteries on the plane store the power.
The batteries power the motor and propeller. Last spring, the plane took off in Abu Dhabi. It is in the Middle East. The plane crossed both the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. It flew for more than 23 days using no gas.
During daylight, the wings charged the plane’s batteries using the sun. The pilot also soared high during the day and glided down at night. This saved power. The plane flies at about 30 miles an hour. It can go faster if the sun is bright.

# data[].attributes.body
3) Re-design the passage by adding the text features above to it and display it on a poster paper. You can even research more about solar planes on the Internet. Also, you can research more text features such as “Did you
know” facts and borders.

Reading strategies help us learn to read better. There are strategies that we use before reading ( pre-reading strategies), during
reading, and after reading ( post-reading strategies). Today, we will learn how to preview a text before reading it. Previewing a Text:
Step 1: Look at the title and any sub-headings
Step 2: Look at any pictures, charts, and captions.
Step 3: Look at any vocabulary or words written in bold.
Let’s preview then read this story together.

Ammar was sitting quietly on his desk staring at the design project that his Math teacher
asked them to complete. He was sad because he wanted to paint the shapes with his favourite colour, green, but there was not any green! At that moment his grandma walked into his room and saw him looking sad and asked:
“Ammar, what’s wrong?”
“I ran out of the colour green and it’s too late to buy new paint!” said Ammar.
“Let me tell you a short story that might help you think differently about your problem, Ammar.” Grandma said excitedly. “A hundred years ago, somewhere in Italy, there lived a couple who had a son, named Anthony. They borrowed money from a rich man and could not repay the debt.

# data[].attributes.body
The rich man was a very stingy man and wanted a servant to help him, but he did not want to waste money paying someone’s
salary. So, he decided to go to the couple’s house and trade the amount of money they owned for their son’s work. The rich man
went to the couple and demanded that their son, Anthony, work for him for free. He said he would come back the next day to
take Anthony away or else they should have the money ready. Anthony heard this and was very upset. The next day, the rich man
headed back to the couple’s house to take Anthony. When he arrived at the house, he heard Anthony refusing to accept the deal
that was offered. Anthony was ambitious and wanted to go to university. He did not want to waste time working for free. The
rich man then offered Anthony another deal. He told Anthony that he would have to pick a pebble from a bag, with two pebbles
inside. If he picked the black one, the debt would not be forgotten, and Anthony should work for him for free. If Anthony picked
the white pebble, the debt would be forgotten, and he would not need to work for the rich man for free. The rich man then bent down to pick two pebbles.

# data[].attributes.body
While picking up the pebbles, Anthony noticed that the rich man picked two black pebbles and put them in the bag. He then
asked Anthony to pick a pebble from the bag. Anthony reached out and picked a pebble from the bag and before anyone could see what he had picked, he dropped the pebble on the ground with the other pebbles and said to the rich man: “Oh, it slipped from my hand! Don’t worry...if you look into the bag to see which pebble is left, you
would be able to tell which one I picked.” The rich man was sure that the pebble in the bag was obviously black. And because he didn’t want to be seen as a cheater, he
had to play along as if the pebble that Anthony dropped was white. So, the money lender was forced to forget about the debt.”

# data[].attributes.body
With that ending, Grandma told Ammar: “Remember do not limit yourself to only the options that you think you have. Sometimes you have to think out of the
box.” “Thanks, Grandma,” said Ammar, “Instead of thinking about the unavailable colour, I should start mixing blue and yellow to create the green colour!”“That’s my boy!” Grandma said with a smile.

By Ancient History Encyclopedia, adapted by Newsela staff.
Ancient Nubia was a powerful empire in Africa. An empire is a group of kingdoms that work together. The Nubians lasted for thousands of years. They developed their own culture and style of arts. Their jewellerymakers
especially showed great skill.
James Blake Wiener spoke to Denise Doxey. Wiener works for Ancient History Encyclopedia. Doxey is an art expert at a museum in Boston, U.S.A. The two of them talked about Nubian jewellery.
James Blake Wiener: What is it about Nubian jewellery that stands out?
Denise Doxey: Its jewellery shows how worldly Nubia was. Many cultures mixed there. Ideas came from central Africa. Egypt was Nubia's neighbour. Traders came from Greece, Rome and Asia. New ways of doing things were always moving back and forth.
Nubian artists were ahead of their time. They were trying out new ideas. Some experimented with enamel. Enamel is a coating for jewellery and other wares.
Nubian jewellery-makers also liked trying new materials. Some stones came from distant lands. One queen's grave was filled with unusual gems and fossils.

# data[].attributes.body
James Blake Wiener: Nubian artisans seemed ahead of their time. How did that happen?
Denise Doxey: They experimented. They tried new styles. Blue-glazed quartz beads are one example. These were made from quartz crystals.
Quartz is a type of clear stone. They were shaped into balls. A hole was poked through them. They were given a shiny glaze. Finally, they were heated. They are very beautiful. But they were not easy to make.
Nubian glassmakers were also very skilled. They made beads that looked like eyes. They were formed by putting drops of glass onto a heated glass bead.

Electricity safety rules for children when they are at home
• Never let them stick their fingers or any other object into the electrical outlets or allow them to light bulbs.
• You should never use any electrical appliance near the sink, bathtub or any other sources of water.
• Keep electrical cords away from sinks, bathtub or any other sources of water. Apart from causing shock they
are a choking hazard for your child.
• You should always dry your hands before you touch any electrical appliance or device, such as a light switch or
toaster or even hair dryer.
• Do not pull out the electrical plug out of the socket by pulling away its cord.
• Keep your electrical appliances switched off and unplugged when you are cleaning an electrical appliance.
• Replace worn, torn or any damaged cord immediately to prevent getting shocks.
• Switch off all the appliances and unplug before you leave your home.

Deep within the world’s seas and oceans is an area called the
abyssal zone. It lies more than 6,000 feet (1,800 meters) below
the surface of the water. It is totally dark there, and the water
is almost motionless. Yet even in these environments various
forms of life survives. These range from tiny microorganisms to
more complex animals such as fish and crustaceans.
For a long time scientists believed that there could be no plants in the dark bottom of the ocean because plants need light. It was also thought that without plant life there could be no animal life. However, scientists descended to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean’s Puerto Rico Trench in 1964 and reported plenty of life even at the depth of
8,381 meters. -Adapted from Britannica Kids (https://kids.britannica.com/kids/article/deep-sea-life/353043)

About 300 million years ago, Earth was not composed of seven continents. It was one massive supercontinent
called: Pangaea. This was surrounded by a single ocean called: Panthalassa.The theory was
originally put forward by German geologist Alfred Wegener in the early 20th Century. Not many people
believed him. Over the years, some scientists discovered that Wegener was actually correct. Similar fossils
and rocks were found in both the African Continent and the South American Continent suggesting a shared
land where animals could roam from the North Pole to the South Pole. By about 200 million years ago, the
forces that helped form Pangaea caused the super-continent to begin to break apart; such as weathering,
erosion, and Continuous, slow movement of tectonic plates that changes surface features.

Pre-question: Have you ever thought about what happens when you are in danger?

Read this article about the neurons, the basic functional units of the nervous system that generate electrical signals. The signals transmit information over long distances.

There are 3 basic functions of neurons:

1. Receive signals or information.

2. Determine whether or not the information should be passed along

3. Communicate signals to target cells.

The fight or flight response is an automatic physiological reaction to a physical danger, such as encountering a growling dog. The perception of threat activates the nervous system and prepares the body to fight or flee. This results in an increase in heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing rate. After the threat is gone, it takes between 20 to 60 minutes for the body to return to its pre-arousal levels.

Some people still feel the threat due to what is called phobia. A person who is terrified of heights might experience stress response if they have to go to the top floor of a skyscraper to attend a meeting. Their body might go on high alert, with their heartbeat and respiration rate increasing.

The information is taken from these resources:

grow up stronger because healthy food gives you
nutrients.
• If you add only little water, then the plant will not
grow.

Sustainable Goal 2 calls for Zero Hunger. This means to “end hunger, achieve food security and improved
nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture.”
- In pairs, think about these two important questions:
1) What is hunger? How can we measure it?
2) What is food security? How can we measure it?
Let’s read more about saving food:
Every year one-third of all the food we produce around the world is lost or wasted. Isn’t it a pity to waste food while so many people are not able to meet their daily food needs. So when is food wasted between leaving the farm and reaching our plate? Food goes through a number of stages called the food chain. Sadly, food is wasted across
the whole chain and that’s not all. When we waste food, we are also wasting all the resources that went into its production like land, water, effort, and energy. Just think of bread and the long way from the farm to our table. Did you know that to make loaf bread you need 1,000 litres of water. That’s a lot of water! Moreover, rotting food in landfill lets off a very harmful gas called methane. This means that wasting food harms the environment, leading to climate change.
There’s good news though. By following some simple tips, we can all help reduce food waste at home, save money, and help the environment, and support people in need. All together, we can help our community. We just
need to take action and care.

1. Take notes of the food your family throws away and try to see why. Find out what went wrong.
2. Think about how to change habits and reduce food waste at home.
3. How can you and your family shop smart? Make a list of everything you have in the fridge/ kitchen.
4. Plan your meals for the week and make a shopping list before going to buy food.
5. After having completed tasks 1- 4, prepare a speech to tell others about your experience with not wasting food.
6. After writing your speech, switch with a peer and do the following:
correct spelling mistakes and use of capitalization, period, question marks and exclamation marks.

Stop: Look at the picture. What can you see?

Think: How is a calendar related to the succession of day and night?

Reflect: What do we use calendars for?

There are two main calendars used for indicating dates: a lunar calendar and a solar calendar. A lunar calendar is a calendar based on the monthly cycles of the Moon’s phases, whereas a solar calendar is based on the solar year, the time it takes the Earth to revolve once around the Sun. A solar year is about 365.25 days long, while a lunar month is about 29.53 days long.

Origins of the months’ names

January: Named for the Roman god Janus, protector of gates and doorways.

February: From the Latin word februa, “to cleanse.”

March: Named for the Roman god of war, Mars.

April: From the Latin word aperio, “to open (bud),” because plants begin to grow in this month.

May: From the Latin word maiores, “elders,” who were celebrated during this month.

June: From the Latin word juvenis, “young people.”

July: Named to honor Roman dictator Julius Caesar.

August: Named to honor the first Roman emperor Augustus Caesar.

September: From the Latin word septem, meaning “seven,” because it was the seventh month of the early Roman calendar.

October: Its name comes from octo, the Latin word for “eight.”

November: From the Latin word novem, “nine”

December: From the Latin word decem, “ten,”
