Comets

A Comet is like an asteroid, but it has a glow around it called a coma and sometimes has a glowing tail

(from: wikipedia - comet)

Comets get a coma and tail when an asteroid gets close to the sun,
and parts of it start to burn up and turn into gas.

French - Your food is hot

We've now learned that This house is big is Cette maison est grande
The chair is small is La chaise est petit,
and My drink is cold is Ma boisson est froide.

To say Your food is hot, you would say Votre nourriture est chaud

Your - Votre - sounds like vuh-tuh-ah /?/
food - nourriture - sounds like noo-uh-ee-choo-ah /?/
is - est - sounds like ay /?/
hot - chaud - sounds like show /?/

All together it sounds like vuh-tuh-ah noo-uh-ee-choo-ah ay show /?/

Time

Last time we learned about measuring Distance.

Another thing we can measure is called Time.

We can look at a clock to see what time it is,
and we can also use the clock to count how much time has passed.

So if you get in the car and drive to Gramma's house,
if it takes 30 minutes then that is the time measured.

Time is usually measured in seconds, and there are 60 seconds in each minute.
So if you know your math, you can take 30 times 60 = 18,000 seconds.

Red Panda

We just learned about the Turtle Scutes.

The Red Panda just might be the cutest animal in the world,
but would it make a good pet?


(from: wikipedia - red panda)

It's only a bit larger than most cats, and smaller than most dogs,
so who knows why this adorable fuzzy crawler hasn't made its way into homes yet.


Some people believe that Indira Gandhi kept one as a pet, so anything's possible!


The red panda doesn't like hot temperatures, and likes to stay up at night, which means it's nocturnal.

Ethmoid Bone

We learned before that the frontal bone, parietal bones and occipital bone are part of the neurocranium.

Also part of the neurocranium is the ethmoid bone, located right behind your nose and eyeballs.

Argentina

We've now learned about the South American countries Brazil and Columbia. Now let's learn about Argentina.

It's the second biggest country in South America by size,
and is third in number of people.

They speak Spanish in Argentina, and by size it is the largest Spanish speaking country in the world!

There was a musical play called Evita created about one of the country's
most famous politicians, Eva Perón

Numbers

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

We already learned about Genesis, Exodus and Leviticus.

Next up is Numbers.

The book Numbers is mostly about counting the people of the lord,
and God's people wandering in the desert and complaining too much.

Because they complained too much, God said that not all of them could enter the promised land,
and that Joshua instead of Moses would lead them into the promised land.
