Skipping tag Play tag, but have everyone skip instead of running or walking to catch their opponent. You can add variation by switching to hopping on one foot, all fours, or some other way of moving. While taking part in skipping tag, children build their health and motor skills in many ways, such as cardiovascular, muscle tone, bone mass, coordination, rhythm, stamina, and endurance. https://empoweredparents.co/gross-motor-skills-for-preschoolers/ Benefits?

Blue whales are by far the biggest animals in the world. Even the biggest dinosaur that ever lived doesn't come close in size to the blue whale. The blue whale is a type of mammal called a cetacean and is a type of baleen whale. Their main diet is krill (euphausiids) and copepods. A blue whale can eat up to 8,000 lbs. of krill a day during its peak consumption period. It is estimated to take 2,200 lbs. of food to fill a blue whale's stomach. Blue whales are simply enormous. A blue whale's aorta (the main blood vessel) alone is large enough for a human to crawl through. In the Antarctic, blue whales have reportedly reached lengths of 110 feet, but most probably grow to between 80 and 90…

Project Supplies: • Felt. • Scissors. • Hot glue gun and glue sticks. •Pillow stuffing or scrap fabric. (I used the scraps of felt I had left over after cutting the shapes) Begin by cutting out two of each Halloween shape for each stuffie you are making. One will be the front side, and one will be the backside. To save time, you can fold the felt in half (or quarters) and cut both sides at the same time. We used one piece of felt for each stuffie and used the felt scraps to fill them. Then, place the two pieces of felt together so they match. Now, carefully glue the outer edges together. But, leave a small section open to fill with pillow stuffing or felt/fabric scraps. You will…

Having a shy style isn't necessarily a problem. It's perfectly OK to take time to warm up to new people and situations. But shyness blocks some people from being as comfortable or sociable as they'd like to be. Some people want to feel less shy so they can have more fun socializing and being themselves around others. Here are some tips for overcoming shy feelings: 1.Start small with people you know. Practice social behaviours like eye contact, confident body language, introductions, small talk, asking questions, and invitations with the people you feel most comfortable around. Smile. 2.Think of some conversation starters. Often, the hardest part of talking to someone new is getting started. Think of conversation openers, like introducing yourself (“Hi, I'm Chris, we're in the same English class”), giving…

Lee de Forest, is an American inventor of the Audion vacuum tube, which made possible live radio broadcasting and became the key component of all radio, telephone, radar, television, and computer systems before the invention of the transistor in 1947. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major-General In 1920 de Forest began to work on a practical system for recording and reproducing sound motion pictures. He developed a sound-on-film optical recording system called Phonofilm and demonstrated it in theatres between 1923 and 1927. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major-General Within a few years’ time, the motion-picture industry converted to talking pictures by using a sound-on-film process similar to de Forest's.…

As disgusting as it might sound to some people, let's make some fake snot! Snot actually serves an important purpose in our body so this experiment is not all about grossing out our friends, although that's certainly part of the fun.

Mars is the 4th planet from the sun. It is a terrestrial planet which means that it has a hard rocky surface that you could walk on. Mars' surface is dry and much of it is covered with a reddish dust and rocks. When viewed from Earth, Mars appears to be the color red. Weather on Mars Mars often has huge dust storms with high-speed winds. These dust storms are powered by the Sun and can grow to enormous proportions sending dust miles into the atmosphere and covering much of the planet. Some storms are so big they can be seen by amateur astronomers on Earth. How does Mars compare to Earth? In many ways, Mars is very similar to Earth. Mars' year and day are very similar to Earth's…
