About The Sun Set - Essay for Kids

Image
As the day draws to a close and the sky transforms into a canvas of vibrant hues, the sunset marks the end of a day and the beginning of a new night. The beauty of a sunset has inspired artists, poets, and writers for centuries, captivating us with its stunning display of colors, patterns, and textures. In this essay, I will explore the science behind sunsets, the cultural significance of sunsets, and the different ways people around the world experience and appreciate sunsets. First, let's take a closer look at the science behind sunsets. A sunset occurs when the sun dips below the horizon, and its rays travel a longer distance through the atmosphere before reaching our eyes. As a result, the shorter, bluer wavelengths of light are scattered more widely, leaving the longer, redder wavelengths to dominate the scene. This process, known as Rayleigh scattering, is responsible for the characteristic warm colors of sunsets, including oranges, pinks, and reds. But the science behind sun...

Lizards - Jolly Phonics Level 2 Readers

Image
  A lizard has a slim body and a long tail. Lizards feed on insects. Lizards hatch from eggs, which are laid in the soil or hidden under rocks. Lizards need the sun. This is a common lizard sitting in the sun. In the tropics, lizards live in the houses and catch bugs and insects. Shinning skinks can run up steep rocks and tree trunks. The ring-tailed dragon runs on its back legs and jumps, to catch insects. The basilisk lizard runs on its back legs too. It can run across the top of a pond or river for several steps, without sinking. The frilled lizard has a big flap of skin around its neck. If it is attacked, it raises its frill to look bigger. This lizard is a thorny devil. It lives in deserts and feeds on ants. If a lizard is attacked, it can shed its tail. The lizard runs free, and just its tail is left. The lizard lives on and soon.. ..its tail will develop again!

WHY? - Questions children ask about the weather

Image
  Why is the sun hot? The sun is a burning ball of gases. We feel its heat, even though it's 93 million miles away. Hot stuff! The sun's heat brings changes in the weather. Why can't I look at the sun? The sun is much too bright for our delicate eyes and could cause blindness. It's rude to stare - and in this case, it's very dangerous. Why does it feel cold when a cloud covers the sun? Clouds soak up most of the sun's warm rays, just like a sponge soaks up water. The air near the ground soon cools - and this can spoil your fun in the sun. Why do rainbows appear? Rainbows appear when the sun's behind you and there's rain ahead because sunlight splits into colors as it passes through water droplets. Why are rainbows full of color? White sunlight is a perfect blend of seven colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. So these are the colors that appear when a ray of sunlight passes through a raindrop and splits up. Why is this rainbow whit...

Crabs - Jolly Phonics Level 2 Readers

Image
  In the river, hidden under a rock, sits a crab. He is looking out for some food. He sees a floating scrap of fish, and nip! He grabs it. The fish floats up, with the crab hanging on to it. Up, up, up floats the crab with the scrap of fish. Then, suddenly, the crab is not in the river at all. He is not floating. He is dangling from some string. "Get him, get him!" the children shout. "Do not let him drop back into the river." The crab is dropped, not into the river but into a net. From the net he can see a bucket, with lots of crabs clambering about in it. The crab is added to the bucket. "We did it!" yell the children. "We are the winners!"' "We were the quickest to catch a hundred crabs!" they shout, jumping about. Then the children empty the bucket of crabs. The crabs all scatter and run along the muddy river bank. Back in the river, hidden under a rock, sits the crab. He is looking out for some food. https://drive.google.com/fi...

Mushrooms - Jolly Phonics Level 3 Readers

Image
  Mushrooms and toadstools are a sort of fungus. Some are edible, but some are poisonous. It is very difficult to tell them apart. Mushrooms and toadstools have a stem that comes up from the ground with a cap on top. Under the cap, there are lines running out from the middle. These lines are called gills. On the gills are spores. Spores are the seeds of mushrooms and toadstools. There are thousands of spores on the gills of a mushroom. The spores travel I on the wind. When they land, they develop small white threads. Mushrooms or toadstools develop from these threads. Mushrooms and toadstools do not have roots. Instead the small white threads spread out from the stem under the ground. The stem is made up of these threads. Mushrooms are often found in rings. The threads under the ground travel out and so the ring gets a bit bigger. The threads and mushrooms in the middle of the ring die. Mushrooms and toadstools start out looking like small buttons. The gills under the cap cannot be...
