Komodo Dragon

We just learned about the Camel Humps.

The dragons you read about in stories aren't real,
but there is a real animal called the Komodo Dragon.

(from: wikipedia - komodo dragon)

It's the largest kind of lizard in the world,
and can grow to be up to 10 feet long!

That means if they stood on their tail
their nose could touch the rim of a basketball hoop!

Femur

The hip bone or pelvis connects to the thigh bone of your leg,
which is called the femur.

The femur is the longest, heaviest and strongest bone in the human body.

Arctic ocean

We've learned about four other oceans so far,
in order of largest to smallest they are:
Pacific, Atlantic, Indian and Southern oceans.

The last one is the Arctic ocean

It's the ocean at the very top of the earth, where the North Pole is.

Apostle's Creed - Part 7

We just learned about the Apostle's Creed Part 6.

Apostle's Creed

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth.
And in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, and born of the virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried.
He descended into hell. On the third day He rose again from the dead.
He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.

Here's part 7:

From thence He will come to judge the living and the dead.

ISS - International Space Station

We just learned about the Apollo 11 Moon Landing.

Right now up in outer space, there is a space station where astronauts can go and stay for days, weeks, even months!

(from: wikipedia - International Space Station)

It's called the International Space Station, or ISS for short.

Both Russia and the USA worked together to build the space station.

French - Green, blue, purple, pink

Last time we learned red orange and yellow,
in French is rouge orange and jaune.

Let's learn more colors!

Green - vert - sounds like vay-uh /?/
Blue - bleu - sounds like blue /?/
Purple - violet - sounds like vee-oh-lay /?/
Pink - rose - sounds like oo-ohs /?/

Boolean True False

We just learned about the colors in ROY G BIV.

You probably already know this, but True is a way of saying Yes.
and False is the opposite and means No.

A fancy word for True and False is Boolean
named after the famous mathemetician George Boole.

In computers and electronics, it's kind of like you're looking at a light bulb.
If the light bulb is ON, you can call that True or Yes or even the number 1.
Is the light bulb is OFF, you can call it False or No or the number 0.

(from: wikipedia - light bulb)

Inside computers the electricity that runs the computer has thousands
or even millions of little ones and zeroes, meaning True and False.

These little light bulbs are what make the pictures on your computer screen
and the light switches come from things like your keyboard and mouse.

You can imagine a room just filled with light bulbs and light switches,
and that's exactly what some of the oldest computers (like the ENIAC) looked like!
