Some places get more rain because they are near big water like oceans or lakes! 🌊 The sun warms the water, and tiny drops go up into the sky to make clouds. When clouds get too heavy, they drop the water as rain! 🌧️ Some places have mountains that catch the clouds and make it rain a lot. Other places are far from water, so they don't get much rain.
Fun fact: The wettest place on Earth is Mawsynram in India, where it rains almost every day! 🌧️😊
The tallest mountain in the world is Mount Everest! 🌍 It's so high that it touches the sky! 🚀 People climb it, but it's very cold and windy up there. ❄️
Mount Everest is in a place called the Himalayas, between two countries: Nepal and China. 🗺️
Flowers smell nice to attract bees 🐝 and butterflies 🦋! They want these little friends to come and visit them. Some flowers don’t smell because they don’t need bees—they might use wind or other ways to spread their pollen. 🌬️
Imagine flowers are like little perfumes for insects! Some are sweet, and some don’t have any smell at all.
🌱 Seeds are like tiny baby plants sleeping in a cozy shell! When they get water, sunlight, and warm soil, they wake up and start growing. First, a little root comes out to drink water, then a tiny stem pushes up to reach the sun. Soon, leaves pop out to make food from sunlight! 🌞
It's like magic—but it's science! Every seed has everything it needs to become a big, beautiful plant. 🌿
Animals live in different places because their bodies are made for those places! 🐠 Some animals, like fish, have fins and gills to breathe underwater. They love swimming all day! 🏊♂️
Other animals, like dogs and cats, have legs and lungs to breathe air. They can run and play on land! 🐕
The deepest part of the ocean is called the Mariana Trench 🌊! It's like a super-deep hole in the ocean floor, deeper than the tallest mountain on Earth! 🏔️
If you dropped a rock there, it would take a long time to reach the bottom. It's so deep that even sunlight can't reach it! 🌑
Some rocks have shiny crystals inside because they were made very slowly deep underground! 🌍✨ When hot melted rock (called magma) cools down over a long time, tiny crystals grow inside it like magic. The slower it cools, the bigger the crystals!
Imagine making ice cubes—if you freeze water slowly, you get big ice cubes. But if you freeze it fast, they stay small. Rocks with crystals are like that too!
Some animals move to new places when the weather changes! 🐦 They fly or walk far away to find food or a warm home. Just like when you wear a coat in winter, animals need to find cozy places too!
For example, birds fly south when it gets cold, and then come back when it's warm again. 🌞
Animals talk in their own special ways! 🐶 Some use sounds like barks, meows, or roars. Others use their bodies, like wagging tails or flapping wings. Some even use smells to say "hello" or "this is my home!" 🌿
For example, dogs wag their tails when happy, and bees dance to show where flowers are! 🐝
Some things float because they are light like a feather 🪶 or a balloon 🎈. Others sink because they are heavy like a rock 🪨 or a toy car 🚗. When you put something in water, the water tries to hold it up. If the thing is too heavy, it sinks! 🌊
Try this: Drop a leaf 🍃 and a coin 💰 in water. The leaf floats, but the coin sinks!
