In line with the topic of Solar System, we stumbled upon this “Stonehenge to STEREO: How we See the Sun Video from NASA Goddard Space Flight Center

We are sharing this wonderful video featuring details as seen on the Sun through different instruments.

The Solar System: Grade 2 Science project

The Solar System, our Solar system consists of eight planets revolving around the Sun. Each planet has its own satellites or moon. There are also minor planets, meteoroids and comets that can be seen in the Solar System.

Today marks this year’s Autumnal Equinox and is the first day of Autumn in the northern hemisphere.

What is Autumnal Equinox? Autumnal Equinox in the northern hemisphere is the day when night and day almost have the same length. The Sun crosses the celestial equator moving southward.

In the Southern hemisphere, the Autumnal Equinox corresponds to the center of the Sun crossing the equator moving northward. This occurs on the date of the northern vernal equinox.

Nosebleed? I am too.

Colors are fascinating. For young children, coloring is a super fun activity.

However, there can NEVER be one color for some of the things that we say they are. Leaves are not only green and apples are not just red.

If there is a blue sky, there is a purple sky as well.

And there are red trees. Fire tree. Flame Tree. Caballero. Arbol De Fuego. Whatever is this specie called, it is still the Red Tree for us and these trees are seen everywhere bursting with red and orange hues from April till July.

I used to have a student who, young as he was, has a creative mind. During the first few days of school, they were asked to draw their homes. He drew a tree planted near their home but instead of coloring the tree as having green leaves, he colored the tree RED. He said the tree in front of their house is red.

The teacher can not accept his answer it seems. This teacher, perhaps she hasn’t seen a red tree or is not as observant as her young student. Errr… teacher? Are you ok?

In the heart of a seed,
Buried deep so deep,
A tiny plant
Lay fast asleep.
“Wake,” said the sunshine,
“And creep to the light.”
“Wake,” said the voice
Of the raindrops bright.
The little plant heard
And it rose to see,
What the wonderful,
Outside world might be.
