scientists corner part 4 of 10- Nature

hello/ failte

sorry about the irish hello but i am now in ireland, but that dosen't prevent me from continuing my sieries of scientists corner. Today we shall discuss... Nature

Nature is a big thing,it is all around us, flora and fauna are nature, animals are nature, certain events are of the natural cause, in fact EVERYTHING has a natural cause, and that's what we'll be discussing today

flora and fauna

now nearly everyone must have heard of the terms "flora" and "fauna" before, but for those of you who have been on the moon or something, i'll tell you.
Flora is just another word for animals, as in "I saw a lot of flora today when i was out walking in the woods" or in plainer english "I saw a lot of animal when i was out walking in the woods today.
Fauna on the other hand, is just another word for plants as in "I saw a lot of exotic fauna today when i was in the fauna shop today" or in plainer english "I saw lots of exotic plants when i was in the plant shop today".

you see, flora and fauna just meen animals and plants

next time we shall be discussing..... CIRCLES OF LIFE but until next time.

slan abahilia (goodbye everyone)

scientists corner part 3 of 10- solids, liquids and gases

hello again,

today we shall discuss.... (flips through imaginary text book) SOLIDS, IQUIDS AND GASES

now then, solids, well, we all know what they are, they are things like, um, computer screens for example, if it does the following it's solid:

  • stays in the same place
  • has a fixed volume
  • all the atoms are tightly squeezed togeather and don't float around so much

liquids are a bit like solids but the differences are:

  • the liquid dosent exactly have a fixed volume...
  • ... but everything stays where is is after a while
  • the atoms float more freely when the liquidated

gases are a bit of a different story actually, the differences are:

  • the gases have what is called free-range -volume which just meanes that the gas has lots more freedom in the air
  • they can go in any direction they feel like going

i hope you have engoyed todays episode of scientists corner

next time on scientists corner...

we shall be discussing nature
