Mammals
Sea CowsManatees and dugongs are the cows of the sea. Most dugongs live in warm, coastal waters off Northern and Western Australia. Manatees live in the coastal waters of the Atlantic Ocean, from the southeast coast of North America to Central and West Africa.
Dugongs and manatees eat sea grass. Manatees are slightly larger than dugongs. West African manatees can grow to four metres long and weigh up to 600 kilograms.
Sea cows are endangered. People used to hunt sea cows. Today, their habitat is being destroyed. Sea cows get caught in fishing nets and run over by boats.
Dugongs have a fluked tail like a whale.
Manatees can eat up to 80 kilograms of plants every day.

Forests cover one third of the Earth’s land. The boreal forests in Siberia make up the largest forest region. They cover almost four million squarekilometres.
The Amazon rainforest shrinks every day as people cut down trees to make paper and other wood products. People also burn the forest to farm the land.Most of the temperate forests that once covered Europeand North America have already been cleared.

What is Architecture?Architecture is the art and science of designing buildings.It controls the mass, volume, texture and materials of built environments. Architecture is also about how buildings work, such as if they stay cool in summer.
Architecture changes with time. People need new types of buildings as the way they live changes. Their tastes changes, and new building materials emerge.
Architects design buildings. They understand how people use spaces. Architects balance what people need and how a building affects the environment. They try to design buildings that are beautiful but also useful.

MovementAn object remains still unless a forceacts on it. The force must be stronger than the object’sinertia to make the object move. Inertia is howhard it is to move something. The object resistsmovement and has a tendency to remain still.
Anything with mass has inertia. The more masssomething has, the more inertia it has. This is whyit takes a stronger force to move a bowling ballthan a tennis ball.
Once something is moving, it moves in the samedirection as the force that caused it to move. It willonly change direction if another force acts on it.
Anything that is moving hasmomentum. Momentumdepends on the mass of anobject and how fast it ismoving. Its momentumequals the force you needto stop it moving.

ResearchThere are over 80 research stations in Antarctica.Glaciologists study ice and where it moves. They drill out pieces of ice called ice cores. Dust and chemicals, trapped in the ice, show that pollution has increased over the last 200 years. Pollution can lead to global warming. If temperatures increase, melting ice will increase sea levels. This threatens animals that hunt and breed on the Antarctic ice.
Meteorologists study weather patterns, clouds, wind speeds and temperatures. This information helps them to predict the weather.
Biologists study plants and animals that live both on and under the ice. They track where and when these animals travel.
Astronomers study the planets and stars in space. Antarctica is dust-free, dry and very dark, which makes it an ideal place for studying space. Astronomers also study the Earth’s atmosphere, such as the Aurora Australis.
Scientists send remote-control video cameras through the sea ice to study marine life.
The oldest Antarctic ice core ever drilled contained snow and soil from 740 000 years ago. The ice core was three kilometres long.

Water is hard to find in a dry habitat.Birds and large mammals, such as pronghorn antelopes, travel long distances to find water.
Other animals get water from the food they eat. The bilby and the kangaroo rat get water from insects, fruit, seeds and leaves.

Forests cover one third of the Earth’s land. The boreal forests in Siberia make up the largest forest region. They cover almost four million squarekilometres.
The Amazon rainforest shrinks every day as people cut down trees to make paper and other wood products. People also burn the forest to farm the land.Most of the temperate forests that once covered Europeand North America have already been cleared.

What is Architecture?Architecture is the art and science of designing buildings.It controls the mass, volume, texture and materials of built environments. Architecture is also about how buildings work, such as if they stay cool in summer.
Architecture changes with time. People need new types of buildings as the way they live changes. Their tastes changes, and new building materials emerge.
Architects design buildings. They understand how people use spaces. Architects balance what people need and how a building affects the environment. They try to design buildings that are beautiful but also useful.

MovementAn object remains still unless a forceacts on it. The force must be stronger than the object’sinertia to make the object move. Inertia is howhard it is to move something. The object resistsmovement and has a tendency to remain still.
Anything with mass has inertia. The more masssomething has, the more inertia it has. This is whyit takes a stronger force to move a bowling ballthan a tennis ball.
Once something is moving, it moves in the samedirection as the force that caused it to move. It willonly change direction if another force acts on it.
Anything that is moving hasmomentum. Momentumdepends on the mass of anobject and how fast it ismoving. Its momentumequals the force you needto stop it moving.

ResearchThere are over 80 research stations in Antarctica.Glaciologists study ice and where it moves. They drill out pieces of ice called ice cores. Dust and chemicals, trapped in the ice, show that pollution has increased over the last 200 years. Pollution can lead to global warming. If temperatures increase, melting ice will increase sea levels. This threatens animals that hunt and breed on the Antarctic ice.
Meteorologists study weather patterns, clouds, wind speeds and temperatures. This information helps them to predict the weather.
Biologists study plants and animals that live both on and under the ice. They track where and when these animals travel.
Astronomers study the planets and stars in space. Antarctica is dust-free, dry and very dark, which makes it an ideal place for studying space. Astronomers also study the Earth’s atmosphere, such as the Aurora Australis.
Scientists send remote-control video cameras through the sea ice to study marine life.
The oldest Antarctic ice core ever drilled contained snow and soil from 740 000 years ago. The ice core was three kilometres long.

Water is hard to find in a dry habitat.Birds and large mammals, such as pronghorn antelopes, travel long distances to find water.
Other animals get water from the food they eat. The bilby and the kangaroo rat get water from insects, fruit, seeds and leaves.

Sea CowsManatees and dugongs are the cows of the sea. Most dugongs live in warm, coastal waters off Northern and Western Australia. Manatees live in the coastal waters of the Atlantic Ocean, from the southeast coast of North America to Central and West Africa.
Dugongs and manatees eat sea grass. Manatees are slightly larger than dugongs. West African manatees can grow to four metres long and weigh up to 600 kilograms.
Sea cows are endangered. People used to hunt sea cows. Today, their habitat is being destroyed. Sea cows get caught in fishing nets and run over by boats.
Dugongs have a fluked tail like a whale.
Manatees can eat up to 80 kilograms of plants every day.

What is Architecture?Architecture is the art and science of designing buildings.It controls the mass, volume, texture and materials of built environments. Architecture is also about how buildings work, such as if they stay cool in summer.
Architecture changes with time. People need new types of buildings as the way they live changes. Their tastes changes, and new building materials emerge.
Architects design buildings. They understand how people use spaces. Architects balance what people need and how a building affects the environment. They try to design buildings that are beautiful but also useful.

MovementAn object remains still unless a forceacts on it. The force must be stronger than the object’sinertia to make the object move. Inertia is howhard it is to move something. The object resistsmovement and has a tendency to remain still.
Anything with mass has inertia. The more masssomething has, the more inertia it has. This is whyit takes a stronger force to move a bowling ballthan a tennis ball.
Once something is moving, it moves in the samedirection as the force that caused it to move. It willonly change direction if another force acts on it.
Anything that is moving hasmomentum. Momentumdepends on the mass of anobject and how fast it ismoving. Its momentumequals the force you needto stop it moving.

ResearchThere are over 80 research stations in Antarctica.Glaciologists study ice and where it moves. They drill out pieces of ice called ice cores. Dust and chemicals, trapped in the ice, show that pollution has increased over the last 200 years. Pollution can lead to global warming. If temperatures increase, melting ice will increase sea levels. This threatens animals that hunt and breed on the Antarctic ice.
Meteorologists study weather patterns, clouds, wind speeds and temperatures. This information helps them to predict the weather.
Biologists study plants and animals that live both on and under the ice. They track where and when these animals travel.
Astronomers study the planets and stars in space. Antarctica is dust-free, dry and very dark, which makes it an ideal place for studying space. Astronomers also study the Earth’s atmosphere, such as the Aurora Australis.
Scientists send remote-control video cameras through the sea ice to study marine life.
The oldest Antarctic ice core ever drilled contained snow and soil from 740 000 years ago. The ice core was three kilometres long.

Water is hard to find in a dry habitat.Birds and large mammals, such as pronghorn antelopes, travel long distances to find water.
Other animals get water from the food they eat. The bilby and the kangaroo rat get water from insects, fruit, seeds and leaves.

In the early 1900s, people began to buy their own cars.In 1908, Henry Ford began making cars on an assembly line. His factory made cars at a much faster rate. These mass produced cars were cheaper to buy.
Flying and aviation began in 1903. Orville and Wilbur Wright flew an engine-powered plane for 37 metres before landing. This was the first sustained flight. Public air travel was still a long way away.

Sea CowsManatees and dugongs are the cows of the sea. Most dugongs live in warm, coastal waters off Northern and Western Australia. Manatees live in the coastal waters of the Atlantic Ocean, from the southeast coast of North America to Central and West Africa.
Dugongs and manatees eat sea grass. Manatees are slightly larger than dugongs. West African manatees can grow to four metres long and weigh up to 600 kilograms.
Sea cows are endangered. People used to hunt sea cows. Today, their habitat is being destroyed. Sea cows get caught in fishing nets and run over by boats.
Dugongs have a fluked tail like a whale.
Manatees can eat up to 80 kilograms of plants every day.

The oldest Antarctic ice core ever drilled contained snow and soil from 740 000 years ago. The ice core was three kilometres long.

In the early 1900s, people began to buy their own cars.In 1908, Henry Ford began making cars on an assembly line. His factory made cars at a much faster rate. These mass produced cars were cheaper to buy.
Flying and aviation began in 1903. Orville and Wilbur Wright flew an engine-powered plane for 37 metres before landing. This was the first sustained flight. Public air travel was still a long way away.
