Saturn

Saturn is the 2nd largest planet in our solar system, right behind Jupiter.
It's 9 times bigger around than Earth.

(from: wikipedia - saturn)

We already learned about Saturn's 12 Rings.

Saturn is a gas giant just like Jupiter,
and just like Jupiter it has a really big moon that's bigger than Mercury

The moon Titan is a little less than half the size of Earth.

French - He is angry

We just learned how to say I am happy and you are sad in French.

Now let's learn how to say He is angry. (Or she)

We can break it up into the three words:
He - Il - sounds like eel /?/
She - Elle - sounds like el /?/
is - est - sounds like et /?/
angry - en colère - Sounds like aw-cool-ay-uh /?/


All together Il est en colère sounds like eel-et-aw-cool-ay-uh.

and Elle est en colère sounds like el-et-aw-cool-ay-uh.

Electrical Current

Remember we said before that the three basic parts for most of the electricity that we see every day are:
Voltage, current, and resistance.

We can learn about electricity by comparing it to how water flows through a pipe.
And we learned that voltage is like the speed that the water is going.

The current, sometimes called amps, is like the size of the pipe.
Is it a very wide open pipe like a sewer pipe? Or a very small pipe like a straw?

The bigger the pipe, the more water can go through it, right?
That's the same for electricity, the larger the current, the more electricity is flowing.

Zebras

We just learned about Prairie Dogs.

Is a zebra white with black stripes, or black with white stripes?

(from: wikipedia - zebra)

Every zebra's stripe patterns are different, but if you look on their bodies
you can see the stripes on their face, neck and shoulders go up and down,
but on their legs and behind they go side to side.

There are lots of different ideas about why zebras have stripes.
Some people say it's to help them hide in grass, or confuse predators
by blending all of their stripes together.
Others have found that it helps confuse flies so they don't get bitten so much!

Whatever the reason is, they're definitely dressed to party.
Even an albino zebra still looks pretty wild!

Foot Phalanges

We just learned about the Metatarsus bones in the foot.

We learned a while back about the three types of phalanges in the hand:
proximal, intermediate and distal.

The toe bones are also named phalanges, and they have the same parts as the finger bones.

Mexico

The country of Mexico is located in North America, just below the United States of America.


(from: wikipedia - mexico)

The language in Mexico is Spanish.

Mexico City has the most people of any city in North America, with over 21 million,
and is in the top 10 most populated cities in the world.

A long time ago in Mexico there were other people called the
Aztecs and the Mayans who built some huge pyramids.
In a city called Chichen Itza there is a pyramid about 100 feet tall.

Apostle's Creed - Part 12

Apostle's Creed - all done!

We just learned about Part 11.

Let's learn the rest!

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.
From thence He will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy Christian Church, the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,

Here's part 12:

and the life everlasting, Amen.


(from: wikipedia - apostle's creed)

This means we believe in heaven.
