The Blue-Ringed Octopus

Like others of its order, the blue-ringed octopus has eight arms, two eyes, and a beak­

like mouth that can cut through a wetsuit. It feeds on shrimp, crabs, and small fish. It

is comparable in size to a golf ball, and each arm measures about two inches from tip

to body. The blue-ringed octopus can be found on the sandy ocean bottoms and in

the coral reefs of Australia, New Guinea, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Japan. It is

hard to spot as it uses camouflage for self-defense. To say "stay away," it changes color

from brown to bright yellow with blue rings. Its beautiful, unusual coloring makes it a

"must-find" creature for many underwater photographers.

While all octopuses are venomous, only the blue-ringed octopus is deadly to

humans. At first, a bite might seem painless. But the powerful neurotoxic venom

quickly causes numbness of the lips and tongue. This is followed by difficulty in

breathing caused by paralysis and then a shutdown of the senses. Death can occur

in minutes, and there is no known antidote. One small blue-ringed octopus carries

enough venom to kill twenty-six adult humans in minutes.

‘Blue Ringed Octopus‛ writing task. This is a ‘re-do‛ from the beginning of the year to use as a reference for how far you have progressed with your writing skills this year. Have fun with it.

A Ride in Space

A Ride in Spaceby Kate Paixão

Sally Ride always loved science and sports. In high school, she thought about becoming a tennis player. Her love of science won out, however. Ride went to college and studied physics, a branch of science.

In 1978, Ride saw an ad in a newspaper for an exciting job: astronaut! The position was at NASA, the United States government agency that runs the country's space program. Eight thousand college students applied. Only twenty-five were accepted. Sally Ride was one of them.

While training at NASA, Ride helped develop a robotic arm to use in space. She went on her first space shuttle trip on June 18, 1983. She was the first American woman to travel in space. Flying on a rocket was dangerous and difficult. It took courage to fly into space. But when Sally Ride returned to Earth from her six-day shuttle trip, she said, "It was the most fun I'll ever have in my life."

Ride left NASA in 1987 to teach science. She later started her own company, Sally Ride Science. She wanted to excite girls and boys about working as scientists.

Sally Ride's courage and dedication to science inspired people around the world.

What do you know about Natural Hazards?

What really causes them to happen? It all depends on the type of natural hazard. There are twomain types: meteorological and geological. Those are some big words, so let's find out what theymean!

Meteorological hazards are extreme weather events caused bychanges in the Earth's atmosphere.

Geological hazards are caused by changes to the Earth'ssurface.

Which of the following natural hazards do you think are caused by changes to the Earth's surface(geological)? Which ones do you think are caused by extreme weather events (meteorological)?

Write the natural disasters listed below into the correct table.

Meteorological Geological

Geological hazards

So, what do you think is inside the Earth? Upload your response below. You can write or draw yourideas. And remember – this is just what you think. There are no right or wrong answers!

Meteorological hazards

Meteorological hazards are extreme weather events caused by changes in the Earth'satmosphere.

Draw a picture to explain what you think causes the weather.

Which combinations of events below do you think result in the meteorological hazards on theright? Write the hazard in the correct box.

No doubt, you already knew lots of things about the Earth and the sky. Were you able to makesome connections to things that you already knew? Was your thinking extended? Is there anythingthat you still find challenging?

Connect: How is this information connected to what you already knew?

Extend: What new ideas did you get that extended or pushed your thinking in new directions?

Challenge: What is still challenging or confusing for you to get your mind around? Whatquestions, wonderings or puzzles do you now have?

Morphological ProcessingInflected suffixes - comparative and superlative

In daily life, we spend a lot of time comparing things to others. Using the correct English grammar is vital in these instances to ensure you’re getting the correct message across.

A comparative is used to compare the difference between two nouns. If you wish to express a superior quality, size, or characteristic, you need to emphasize your subject noun is ‘more’ than your object noun. Conversely, if you wish to indicate inferior qualities, you’ll use ‘less.’

The purpose of superlative adjectives is to show something is the best (or worst) of a group of nouns.

Morphological ProcessingInflected suffixes - comparative and superlative

Rule 2: If the base word makes a short vowel sound and is followed by a single consonant letter, double the consonant before adding the suffix -er or -est.fit fitter

Space Vacation

Space Vacation

the International Space Station

Outer Space-A Nice Place to Visit?Where will you go on your next vacation? Disneyland? Sea World? Outer space?

That's right; tourists are now paying big bucks to travel into space with astronauts! The first space tourist was Dennis Tito, an American businessman. In 2001, he paid about $20 million to ride on a Russian rocket to the International Space Station. The Space Station circles 220 miles above Earth. Tito stayed on the station for a week, hanging out with astronauts and eating space food.

Another space tourist was Anousheh Ansari, an Iranian-born woman from the United States who went to the Space Station in mid-September 2006.

How safe is space travel? Apart from the risk of crashing, space tourists have some special things to worry about. Earth's atmosphere protects us from dangerous radiation from the sun. Space travelers are exposed to more of the sun's rays. But for tourists spending only a few days or weeks in space, the radiation probably isn't harmful.

A bigger problem might be space sickness. Without Earth's gravity to hold them down, visitors to the Space Station float around inside the craft. It may look like fun on TV, but it can make first-time space travelers dizzy and sick. Luckily, the sickness usually wears off quickly. Then space tourists can enjoy their trip-and the amazing view of Earth.
