All matter, all things can be changed in two ways: chemically and physically. Both chemical and physical changes affect the state of matter. Physical changes are those that do not change the make-up or identity of the matter. For example, clay will bend or flatten if squeezed, but it will still be clay. Changing the shape of clay is a physical change, and does not change the matter’s identity. Chemical changes turn the matter into a new kind of matter with different properties. For example, when paper is burnt, it becomes ash and will never be paper again. The difference between them is that physical changes are temporary or only last for a little while, and chemical changes are permanent, which means they last forever. Physical and chemical changes both affect the state of matter.

Dr. Miller doesn’t want the tigers to vanish. These majestic beasts are disappearing at an alarming rate. Dr. Miller thinks that we should write to our congress people. If we let them know that we demand the preservation of this species, maybe we can make a difference. Dr. Miller also thinks that we should donate to Save the Tigers. Our donations will help to support those who are fighting the hardest to preserve the tigers. We owe it to our grandchildren to do something.

There are many theories about why the dinosaurs vanished from the planet. One theory that many people believe is that a gigantic meteorite smashed into the Earth. Scientists believe that the meteorite was very big and that the impact may have produced a large dust cloud that covered the Earth for many years. The dust cloud may have caused plants to not receive sunlight and the large plant eaters, or herbivores, may have died off, followed by the large meat eaters, or carnivores. This theory may or may not be true, but it is one explanation as to why these giant reptiles no longer inhabit the Earth.

Hurricane Katrina began as Tropical Depression Twelve over the southeastern Bahamas on August 23, 2005. The depression later strengthened into a tropical storm on the morning of August 24 where the storm was also named Katrina. Katrina continued to move into Florida, and became a Category 1 hurricane only two hours before it made landfall around Hallandale Beach on the morning of August 25. The storm weakened over land, but became a hurricane again while entering the Gulf of Mexico.

Have you ever wondered what the inside of a volcano looks like? Deep underground is a magma chamber. The magma chamber is under the bedrock of the earth’s crust. The conduit or pipe runs from the magma chamber to the top of the volcano. The conduit connects the magma chamber to the surface. Most volcanoes also have a crater at the top. Volcanoes are quite a sight, and you can enjoy this site all over the universe. Volcanoes are found on planets other than Earth, like the Olympus Mons on Mars.

"Her mother gave Margaret her first camera in 1921, when she was 17 years old. In 1929, Henry Luce invited Margaret to work at Fortune Magazine. She jumped at the chance and became the first woman in a new field called photojournalism. In 1930, she was the first photographer from a Western country to be allowed into the Soviet Union (now Russia). When World War II broke out in 1939, Margaret became the first female war correspondent. This is a journalist who covers stories first hand from a war zone. In 1941, she traveled to the Soviet Union again and was the only foreign photographer in Moscow when German forces invaded."

A disposable plastic water bottle may not look like a major threat to the environment, but chances are it will end up taking up space in a landfill—or in the ocean. Americans buy and discard about twenty-nine billion of these bottles per year, so all that waste really adds up. One of the easiest methods to reduce your use of plastic water bottles is to carry a reusable bottle and refill it with tap water. And if you do buy bottled water, recycle the bottle.

The tiny ice cream shop around the corner from my house has the best ice cream in the city. When you walk inside, there is a long, silver counter with matching stools extending alongside the far wall. Right where the counter stops, there are comfy, red booths. There are lots of old-fashioned decor on the walls and silver napkin holders on all the polished tables. My favorite part of the shop is behind the counter, where they keep all the delicious ice cream flavors, such as cookies and cream, pistachio, and moose tracks.

Canoes and kayaks are both great for exploring lakes and rivers. Both are light boats, easy to paddle and good in shallow water. They're not exactly the same, though. Canoes are larger and more open, with space for two or three people and supplies. Kayaks are usually covered on top with an opening for just one person. A canoe paddle has a single blade, that is, just one end that dips into the water. The kayak usually has a double-bladed paddle instead. The kayaker paddles by dipping in one blade, then the other.

Mount Tambora is a volcano in Indonesia. Due to an enormous eruption in 1815, a huge amount of dust was sent into the air. The dust was incredibly thick, so it actually blocked the light from the sun. This led to several years of colder, rainier weather in the Northern Hemisphere. Crops died in China and Ireland because of the cold and rain. The cold also made crops freeze in the fields of New England.
