π The Earth is like a big spinning ball! When your side of the Earth faces the Sun, it's daytime π. When it turns away, it's nighttime π.
Imagine spinning around with a flashlightβwhen the light shines on you, it's 'day,' and when it doesn't, it's 'night'!
When we get sick, it's usually because tiny germs called viruses or bacteria sneak into our bodies and make us feel yucky. π€§
Our body has an amazing superhero called the immune system that fights these germs! Sometimes, though, the germs are too strong, and we need rest, medicine, or even a doctor to help us feel better. π₯
Washing hands, eating healthy food, and sleeping well help keep the germs away! π§Όππ΄
Vaccines are like tiny superheroes! π¦ΈββοΈ They help your body fight germs that can make you sick. When you get a vaccine, it teaches your body how to recognize and stop the bad germs before they can hurt you. It's like giving your body a secret weapon! πͺ
Most vaccines come as a little shot, but some can be drops or a spray. It might pinch for a second, but it keeps you healthy and strong! π
π A rainbow is like magic in the sky! It happens when the sun shines on tiny drops of water in the air, like after it rains. The sunlight bends and splits into beautiful colors, just like when you shine light through a prism!
Next time you see a rainbow, try to spot all seven colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet!
Babies grow inside their mommies in a special place called the womb (or tummy)! π±πΆ
First, a tiny seed from daddy and a tiny egg from mommy join together. Then, the baby starts to grow, just like a little plant! The mommy gives the baby food and love through a special tube called the umbilical cord.
After many months, the baby is big enough to come out and meet the world! π
We blink to keep our eyes clean and wet! π Every time we blink, our eyelids spread tears over our eyes like a tiny windshield wiper. This helps wash away dust and keeps our eyes from getting dry.
Blinking also protects our eyes. If something comes near your eye, like a bug or a speck of dirt, blinking helps keep it out! π«
We breathe by taking air in through our nose or mouth! π¬οΈ The air goes down a tube called the windpipe and fills up our lungs like balloons. Then, we blow the air back out!
Our body needs air to stay alive, just like a car needs gas to go! ππ¨
Mountains are like big, rocky bumps on the Earth! π They form when the ground pushes up very slowly over a long, long time. Sometimes, the Earth's pieces (called plates) crash together like toy blocks, and that makes mountains grow taller!
Imagine pushing two blankets togetherβthey wrinkle up. That's kind of how mountains form!
The moon changes shape because it moves around the Earth π! When the moon is between the Earth and the sun, we can't see itβthis is called a New Moon. When the Earth is between the sun and the moon, we see a big, round Full Moon π! The moon doesn't really changeβit just looks different from Earth.
Sometimes it looks like a banana π, and other times like a big circle!
The sun is very, very far away! π It's so far that if you tried to drive there in a car, it would take more than 170 yearsβeven if you drove non-stop, day and night!
But don't worry, the sun's light reaches us in just 8 minutes. That's faster than you can eat your breakfast! π₯
