Module 7 Review 2

Mosquito bites are the worst! They cause ugly lumps on your skin that itch a lot. Even though mosquito bites are common, you can take steps to avoid them. First, stay away from puddles and ponds. Second, wear bug spray on your skin. After you put it on, you will taste bad to mosquitoes. They may land on you, but they will probably fly away without biting. Third, try to go inside before the sun goes down. More mosquitoes are out at dusk, or just after sunset, than any other time of day.

Human activity may be causing climate change by releasing too much carbon dioxide into the air. But it doesn’t need to be this way. You can reduce your carbon footprint, or how much carbon dioxide you put into the air, and it isn’t even that hard to do. It’s all about saving energy.

Recycling saves energy. Recycling paper takes much less energy than cutting down a tree to make paper from raw wood. Recycling also reduces the number of trees that are cut down. The more trees there are, the more carbon dioxide they can remove from the air we breathe. Recycle everything you can! Turn off the lights when you leave a room. Run your air conditioner on low. Together, we can fight climate change!

When you are helping your parents pull weeds in the garden, you’ll want to follow these helpful tips. Before you start, put on gardening gloves and kneepads. These will protect your hands and knees. Next, use a shovel to loosen the dirt so the root will come out. Last, put the weeds you’ve pulled in one spot. Otherwise, you’ll have to look for them later so you can rake them up.

Did you ever notice that there are different kinds of clouds? Stratus clouds are flat and gray. Cumulus clouds look like fluffy white cotton balls. Cirrus clouds are white, thin, and spread out. Stratus clouds cover the sky like a blanket and block the sun. They are made of water, and they bring rain or snow. These clouds are the lowest to the ground. Cumulus clouds sometimes change shape as they float along. They’re in the sky on sunny days instead of rainy days. They have ice crystals in them, but they’re mostly made of water. They’re higher than stratus clouds. 

We see cirrus clouds on sunny days. These thin, wispy clouds are made of ice crystals and water. They don’t bring rain or snow. They float the highest above the Earth.

Some people think that climbing a tree is just playing around, but it’s actually good exercise. One reason is that you’re using muscles as you do it. You use arm, leg, and hand muscles to pull yourself up. Another reason is your body has to be flexible. To climb a tree, you sometimes have to twist your body into unusual shapes to fit on the branches. Finally, you improve your balance when you climb a tree. If you don’t have a good balance, you might fall!
