Lime juice is an acid that breaks down the protein in fish. The lime juice's effect on the fish proteins gives the dish an appealing mouth texture and an opaque appearance that resembles
cooking with heat. Tough cuts of meat often are soaked in marinades made with vinegar, lemon juice, tomato juice or other types of acids to soften them
and add flavor. Marinades don't enter deeply into meat so in order for the spices to enter, acidic foods are added to open up the outer protein cells.]]> 2021-03-15 05:04:57 UTC https://padlet.com/zahraa2016sss/8vmbz58dcdja9kt4/wish/1309027106 zahraa2016sss https://padlet.com/zahraa2016sss/8vmbz58dcdja9kt4/wish/1309081081 When learning a language, antonyms help us learn vocabulary words.

This week we will take a look at a famous literary character from British culture.
Who is Sherlock Holmes?
Sherlock Holmes is a character from books written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
Holmes became an icon of British culture and modern detective stories. Doyle introduced Holmes in 1887 in the short story “A Study in Scarlet” and went on to write at least 50 more stories featuring the detective, as well as The Hound of
the Baskervilles (1902) and several other novels. Doyle based his character on the personality of his former teacher in medical school, Dr. Joseph Bell of Edinburgh.
Sherlock Holmes is a detective who tries to find out who committed the crimes.
There is a monument in London dedicated to him. He has a sharp mind and solves
even the most difficult and strange mysteries. He works with his friend Dr Watson, a retired army officer. Sherlock Holmes is often dressed in a coat and cap, and carrying
a pipe and a magnifying glass. He lives at 221B Baker Street in London. Holmes’s opponent is the criminal mastermind Professor Moriarty.

The Hubble Space Telescope is a large telescope in space. NASA launched Hubble in 1990. Hubble is as long as a large school bus. It weighs as much as two adult elephants. Hubble travels around Earth at about 5 miles per second.
That is as fast as driving a car from the East Coast of the United States to the West Coast in 10 minutes. The distance between the two coasts is 4,800 km, which is similar to driving from Amman to Aqaba and back 14 times!
Hubble faces toward space. It takes pictures of planets, stars and galaxies. Hubble has seen stars being born.
Hubble has seen stars die. It has seen galaxies that are trillions of miles away. Hubble also has seen comet pieces crash into the gases above Jupiter.
Scientists have learned a lot about space from Hubble pictures. The pictures are beautiful to look at too.]]> 2021-03-28 15:53:25 UTC https://padlet.com/zahraa2016sss/8vmbz58dcdja9kt4/wish/1361537170 zahraa2016sss https://padlet.com/zahraa2016sss/8vmbz58dcdja9kt4/wish/1361542725 The mixture of gases that surround a planet is called its atmosphere. Earth's atmosphere changes and blocks some of the light that comes from space. Hubble flies around, or orbits, high above Earth and its atmosphere.
So, Hubble can see space better than telescopes on Earth can. Hubble is not the kind of telescope that you look through with your eye. Hubble uses a digital camera. It takes pictures like a cell phone. Then Hubble uses radio waves to send the pictures through the air back to Earth.]]> 2021-03-28 15:56:58 UTC https://padlet.com/zahraa2016sss/8vmbz58dcdja9kt4/wish/1361542725 zahraa2016sss https://padlet.com/zahraa2016sss/8vmbz58dcdja9kt4/wish/1361546602 1.

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.]]> 2021-04-05 12:00:58 UTC https://padlet.com/zahraa2016sss/8vmbz58dcdja9kt4/wish/1382792224 zahraa2016sss https://padlet.com/zahraa2016sss/8vmbz58dcdja9kt4/wish/1382795204 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.]]> 2021-04-05 12:02:29 UTC https://padlet.com/zahraa2016sss/8vmbz58dcdja9kt4/wish/1382795204 zahraa2016sss https://padlet.com/zahraa2016sss/8vmbz58dcdja9kt4/wish/1382797319

2. Using context clues, what do you think the phrase “ahead of their

Did you know that…?
● 1.6 billion people depend on forests for their livelihood
● 80 percent of land animals and plants live in forests
● 2.6 billion people depend directly on agriculture
● Loss of farmable land is estimated at 30 to 35 times the historical rate
● 8 percent of the known 8,300 animal breeds are extinct and 22 percent are at risk Forests, farm lands and animals play a huge part in our daily lives. Forests rovide habitats and food for animals. Forests are part of the water cycle. Farms and animals are a source of food and livelihood. Animals are an essential part of all ecosystems. Without action, we could lose these
important resources to deforestation and land degradation. What can young people do to help make life on land more sustainable?

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)]]> 2021-05-22 08:56:02 UTC https://padlet.com/zahraa2016sss/8vmbz58dcdja9kt4/wish/1549859615 zahraa2016sss https://padlet.com/zahraa2016sss/8vmbz58dcdja9kt4/wish/1549860379 These are four creatures that live in the deep sea:
