Air is like a big invisible blanket around us! 🌬️ It's made mostly of two special gases called oxygen and nitrogen. We breathe in oxygen to stay alive, and plants love it too! 🌱
There's also tiny bits of other things in the air, like water and dust. That's why we sometimes see clouds or feel wind!
Fir trees stay green all year because they have special leaves called needles! 🌲 These needles are tough and covered with a waxy coating, which helps them keep water inside even when it's cold or dry.
Unlike other trees that lose their leaves in winter, fir trees keep their needles for many years. That's why they always look green and happy! 🎄
Sound is something you hear with your ears! 👂 When you clap your hands, sing a song, or a dog barks, that's sound. It travels through the air like tiny waves that tickle your ears. 🎵
Imagine throwing a pebble into water and seeing ripples. Sound moves like those ripples, but you can't see them!
Cats love fish because it smells yummy to them! 🐟 Fish has a strong smell that cats can easily notice. Also, fish is full of good things that help cats stay healthy and strong.
Just like how you love your favorite snack, cats love fish because it tastes delicious to them! 😋
Trees shed their leaves to take a little nap during winter! 🌳💤 When it gets cold, trees need to save energy, so they drop their leaves and rest until spring comes.
Leaves are like little blankets for trees. But in winter, they would freeze, so trees let them go and grow new ones when it's warm again! 🌞
Grass is green because it has a special color called chlorophyll 🌿. Chlorophyll helps grass make food from sunlight, just like magic! The sun gives energy, and the grass uses it to grow big and strong.
When you see green grass, it means it's healthy and happy! 🌞
The wind blows because the air likes to move around! 🌬️ When the sun warms up the Earth, some places get hotter than others. The warm air goes up, and the cool air rushes in to take its place. That's what makes the wind blow!
Imagine you have a balloon full of warm air. When you let it go, it flies up! The wind is like that, but all around us.
Oil and gas come from deep under the ground! 🌍 Long, long ago, tiny plants and animals lived in the sea. When they died, they sank to the bottom and got buried under sand and mud. Over millions of years, they turned into oil and gas! 🦕✨
Now, people dig deep wells to bring them up so we can use them for cars, heating, and making toys!
Insects eat many different things! 🐜 Some eat leaves and plants, like caterpillars. Others eat other insects, like ladybugs! Some even eat sweet things like nectar from flowers. 🌸
Did you know? Some insects help plants grow by eating bad bugs! 🌱
Cats have whiskers to help them feel things around them, just like magic sensors! 🌟
Whiskers are super sensitive and can tell if a space is too small for them to fit through. They also help cats balance and see in the dark.
Without whiskers, cats would bump into things!
