Sharing with Others

Sharing is more than taking turns with
a toy. Sharing is giving and caring.
Good citizens help make things better
for everyone. They help people in the
community or around the world.

People can spend time exploring the
rain forest. They can walk on bridges
high over the ground. They can see so
much green! Scientists explore the rain
forest, too. They study the plants that
help sick people. The rain forest is the only
place in the world where these plants live.

People on a high bridge see

The scientists used a saw,
trowels, and chisels. They skeleton
pulled out a block of rock.

Little tools came next.
The scientists used brushes
to clean the big block.
They found shoulder and
leg bones.

The skeleton helps scientists learn
about dinosaurs. The scientists put the
bones together. They try to see what the
dinosaur once looked like. Its arms were
like wings. Its nose was long like a beak.
That is why it is called a birdlike dinosaur.

Whoo’s

a Wonderful Bird?

Owls are such fascinating birds. Their
bodies are made to survive in the night.

Owls stay awake at
night. The moon is up,
too. Most owls sleep
when the sun comes up.
Could you do that?

(l) Mediacolor’s/Alamy; (r) Jim Heustess/Ecostock

Dwight Kuhn Owls hear very well.
They hear better than
any other bird. When an
owl hears a sound, it can
turn its head far around.

Owls have big eyes.
They see quite well at night.
In the day, they do not
move. This makes it hard
for enemies to spot them.

Owls fly quietly. Their wings are very
long. There is lots of space between their
soft and fluffy feathers. These things help
owls stay quiet. They can hunt much
better this way.

Owls hunt. Their very
sharp eyes and hearing

Prize Pets

Many people own dogs. Purebred dogs
can compete in dog shows.

Dennis Van Tine/Landov

Dogs get a prize like
the Olympic medal.
In the United States, the
Westminster Kennel Club
runs a famous dog show.
Only the best purebreds
are allowed to compete.

Judges are experts on the breed
they judge. At this show, they
examine, or look over, the dog.
They look at how the dog
moves. Judges see if the
teeth, bones, and coat
are perfect.

new machines. We learn new ways
to do things. Over time, our lives
change in many ways.

Long ago, families made their

clothes by hand. The sewing
machine was invented about 150
years ago. It helped people sew
their clothes faster.

Now, most clothes are made
in big factories. The factories
have many machines and many
workers. The factories send the
clothes to stores. Families go to
stores to buy their clothes.
