Asteroids

We learned last time about the all of the things like Pluto that were floating around in the Kuiper belt.

All of the things floating around in our solar system that aren't planets,
are called asteroids.

French - My drink is cold

We've now learned that This house is big is Cette maison est grande
and The chair is small is La chaise est petit.

To say My drink is cold, you would say Ma boisson est froide

My - Ma - sounds like Mah /?/
drink - boisson - sounds like boo-ay-soh /?/
is - est - sounds like ay /?/
cold - froide - sounds like foo-ah-d /?/

All together it sounds like Mah boo-ay-soh-n ay foo-ah-d /?/

Distance

We just learned about the difference between Solid, Liquid and Gas.

Let's talk about measuring things!

First we can learn about Distance.

That means how far it is from one place to the next.
So if you drive in your car for 10 miles, then the distance is 10 miles.

You can also measure distances in meters.
A meter is a little bigger than three feet long.

Turtle scutes

We just learned about the Wolverine.

When you look at a turtle's shell and see the lines marking out different shapes on it's back or belly, those areas are called scutes

(from: wikipedia - turtle shell)

The scutes are like scales on a snake, and each scute has a name for where it is on the shell, like cervical, vertebral or marginal.

The scutes are made of keratin, the same as a rhino horns, whale baleen plates and our fingernails and hair!

Occipital Bone

We learned before that the Frontal Bone and Parietal Bones are part of the Neurocranium.
Also part of the neurocranium is the occipital bone, located in the back of your head.

Columbia

The second largest country in South America right after Brazil is Columbia.

(from: wikipedia - columbia)

46 million people live in Columbia, and they speak Spanish.
To say hello you would say Hola.

Columbia is well known for producing coffee, flowers, emeralds, coal, and oil.

Leviticus

Let's keep learning about the other Books of Law in the Old Testament.

We already learned about Genesis, and Exodus. Next up is Leviticus.

The word Leviticus just means a book about the Levites.
The Levites were the group of people that God picked to be in charge of keeping his laws.

So the book of Leviticus is mostly about rules or laws that God made for his people.
There are over 200 different laws in Leviticus!
