Comprehension

Satellites are objects that circle planets or other bodies in space. Some satellites are natural. Earth’s moon is one of these. The moons that orbit other planets are also natural satellites. Other satellites are artificial. They are made and put into orbit by humans. These have many different uses, including taking pictures of the Sun, Earth, and other planets, and looking deep into space at black holes, and distant stars and galaxies. 
There are also communications satellites, weather satellites, and the International Space Station. The side of a satellite facing the Sun gets very hot, while the shaded side becomes very cold. This is a problem because most satellite equipment is sensitive to extreme heat or cold. Ways of protecting the instruments include using layered blankets that look like foil to keep heat in, and adding radiators to release heat from electrical equipment.

1. What is a satellite?

2. Give an example of a natural satellite. 

3. Explain the difference between a natural satellite and an artificial satellite. 

4. Name one thing which an artificial satellite takes pictures of. 

5. What do you think could happen if the satellites become too hot or too cold?

6. What word in paragraph 2 lets you know that more than one blanket is used?

Saturday Classes 2024

Saturday, May 18, 2024 Class 3's                                      COMPREHENSION I dared not stir out of my castle for days, lest some savage should capture me. However, I gained a little courage and went with much dread to make sure that the footprint was not mine. I measured my foot against it. Mine was not nearly so large. A stranger, maybe a savage, must have been on shore, and fear again filled my heart. I determined now to make my house more secure than ever. I built another wall around it, in which I fixed six guns, so that, if need be, I could fire six in two minutes. Then I planted young trees all around. I feared my goats might be hurt or stolen from me, so I fenced round several plots of ground, as much out of sight as possible, and put some goats in each plot. I did all this, while I lived with a terrible fear in my mind that I might one day meet an enemy. I had lived eighteen y...

Tourism Tourism means people travelling to places outside of their usual home.  A tourist is anyone traveling for fun, business or visiting relatives. A tourist must stay at least 24 hours but for less than one year. There are different types of tourists. First, a domestic tourist is a person who spends at least one night away from their normal home but still within their own country. Some people call this a ‘staycation’.  Then, there are regional tourists. This is a tourist who travels within a certain region.
