We also thought
it might be fun to see
how much of this shiny
new knowledge you ca
remember—so at the b<
of the book, on pages 56 and
57, you'll find some Quick-Quiz
questions to test you out. It's
not as scary as it sounds—we
promise it'll be fun. (And
besides, we've given
you all the answers on
pages 58 and 59 )

Volcanoes are

weak spots in
Earth's surface, or
crust. Sometimes, a redhot river of lava pours out
of a volcano and flows down
its sides. The runny rock can
reach temperatures of more
than 1,800#f a000#C)—much,
much hotter than an oven—
and it can flow faster than

Out ih the ocean, baby
sharks are at risk from larger
predators—including other sharks.
Lemon sharks are born in shallow
lagoons. They live there in safety for
about seven years, hanging around with
other young of the same size.

Angelfish, clown fish (anemone
fish), and parrotfish are just
c
\
some of the thousands of
coral reefs. Reefs grow in
m
>
shallow water in tropical parts
Cl
of the world. They contain millions of
tiny animals called coral polyps. As each
polyp dies, it leaves behind its hard,
stony skeleton, building up the reef.

the winter months,
the lands around the
poles do not see the Sun
at all. The Sun is so low in the
Sky that it is hidden below the
horizon. This makes the days cold
and dark—even at noon. In
Scandinavia in northern Europe,
children go to and from school by
the light of the Moon or stars.

There are about

\ and they grow just about
everywhere—in fields and
forests, deserts and mountains
rivers and lakes. Resides air,
the two things plants need are
sunlight and water, so they
cannot grow in places that
are completely dark or dry.

Wheh you swallow food, it
passes down your throat ahd
into your stomach, where it is
mashed into a kind of soup. This
“soup" is squeezed along a winding
tube called your small intestine, fcy
now, the useful pieces of food are
tiny enough to be taken into your
blood and carried around your body,
giving it energy to live and grow.
