Anna and Her Basketball Adventure
A group of teenage boys was playing basketball on the court at the park. The basketball
court didn’t have a fence around it. If one of the boys missed the basket, someone had
to catch the basketball quickly so it wouldn’t bounce too far away.
One of the boys was showing off, and he tossed the ball
with all of his strength from the one end of the court
toward the basket on the other end. The ball was flying
like a rocket over the heads of all of the other boys. Then
it kept right on flying. It flew straight over the basket and
out into the field.
Anna was sitting at the end of the field near the pond
watching the ducks swim. She heard some yelling and turned to see a big orange object
headed her way. The yelling was coming from the teenage boys.
“Stop the ball,” one of them shouted.
The ball landed a few feet away from her. It started rolling and was heading right for the
pond. The ducks saw it nearing and started flapping their wings wildly in fear.
Anna saved the ducks and the ball. She threw her arms out to stop the ball just as it
was about to splash into the water.
“Bring it over here,” called one of the boys.
Anna shyly walked the ball over to the court. She was only in grade school and older
kids made her nervous. They ended up being very nice though.
“Thanks kiddo,” they all said at once.
“Can I try a shot?” Anna asked the boys.
The boys said, “Sure,” but they all chuckled because Anna was so much younger and
shorter than them. They didn’t think she would be able to toss the ball even halfway to
the basket.

Anna took the ball and stood at the free throw line. She
concentrated hard and focused on the basket. Then she
gave it her best shot. The boys watched with amazement as
the ball whooshed straight into the basket. Anna smiled as
the boys all cheered loudly for her.
Answer the Questions:
1. What was the basketball court missing?
2. What was the basketball like as it flew over the boys’ heads?
3. Where was Anna sitting?
4. What did the ducks do when the basketball was rolling toward them?
5. Who saved the ducks and the ball?
6. Where was Anna standing when she made a basket?

LANDFORMS
There are many different types of landforms. Landforms are natural
features on the planet’s surface. You probably know about some of them
already!
Mountains are very tall landforms. They can be
pointed or rounded, and some are even volcanic!
When there are many mountains together, it is called a
mountain range. Some mountains are formed from
lava, while other mountains are formed when the
plates under the earth’s surface crash together and
push up the land. Either way mountains are formed, it takes many, many
years.
Valleys are the spaces between mountains. Some valleys are V-shaped,
and some are U-shaped. Many people live in valleys, because they have a
comfortable temperature, are protected, and may have rivers flowing
through them.
Plateaus are like mountains, but instead of pointed or rounded tops, they
are flat on top. They usually form when magma rises, but doesn’t break
through the surface. The land rises instead.
Plains are large, flat areas of land. Since flat land is easy to build on, many
cities are on plains. Many plants can grow on plains, as well. Some plains
are by oceans, and are called ocean plains. Plains that are by rivers are
called river plains, and are especially good for growing crops.
Islands are areas of land surrounded by water on all sides. They can be
formed by underwater volcanoes. The lava builds up over time and
eventually breaks the surface of the ocean.
Deserts are another type of landform. They are large areas of land that do
not receive a lot of rainfall. They can be very hot during the day, and very
cold at night. It is difficult for many plants and animals to live in deserts.
What kind of landform would you like to live on?

THE LIFE CYCLE
When you plant a seed, does it stay a seed forever? No! Plants and
animals grow and change throughout their lives.
Many plants begin as seeds. As the seed gets what it needs (water,
sunlight, and nutrients from the soil), it begins to grow. The seed turns into
a little sprout. It keeps growing until it is a full-grown plant. Then the plant
makes new seeds, so that new plants can grow even after the plant grows
old and dies. Those seeds will then go through their growth process.
Because seeds go through this process over and over again, it is called a
life cycle.
Animals also have life cycles. A frog begins as an egg. When the egg
hatches, it turns into a tadpole. The tadpoles grow legs and arms, and
eventually grow into adult frogs. The adult frogs lay eggs, so that new frogs
can live even after the frog grows old and dies.
A dog’s life cycle is a little different than a frog’s, because a dog does not
start out as an egg. It is born from its mother’s belly. The puppy keeps
growing and is eventually an adult dog. Then the adult dog might have
puppies to continue the life cycle!
Insects like caterpillars go through life cycles,
too. Caterpillars begin as eggs. When they
hatch, they are larva. The caterpillar becomes a
pupa, and inside of the pupa it turns into an
adult. The adult is not a caterpillar; it is a
butterfly! Then the butterfly lays eggs, so that
new caterpillars and butterflies can live even after the butterfly grows old
and dies.
Plants and animals don’t stay the same throughout their lives, they grow
and change through their life cycle.

Max’s Good Habit
Max reads more than anyone he knows. He loves to read during all of his free time. His
friends tease him because he would rather read than play video games, but his parents
and his teachers are proud of him. They say reading is important, and it will help him
learn about the world around him. They also tell him it is a good habit to read on a
regular basis.
One day Max was reading a magazine article about
volcanoes. He told his friends all about volcanoes and
what causes them to erupt. The very next week, his
class was assigned a science project about volcanoes.
Guess who everyone wanted in their project group?
Max’s friends weren’t teasing him anymore.
Max ended up being in a group with Liz, Anna and Josh.
The assignment was to create a poster board with
information about volcanoes and to build a volcano model.
Max made copies of the magazine article about volcanoes so his project partners could
read about them too. They also went to the library to look for more information about
volcanoes.
The group met at Anna’s house that night to organize the information and decide what
they wanted to put on the poster board. They all asked Max what he thought was most
important. Then they decided on the following together.
What causes volcanoes to erupt? The release of pressure when magma rises up
through cracks in the Earth’s crust.
How do volcanoes form? Lava from eruptions cools and forms new crust. The
crust builds up after several eruptions to form a volcano.
How hot is lava? Lava can get as hot as 1,165 Fahrenheit.

The next night they met at Josh’s house to build their
volcano. They used cardboard and modeling clay.
First they made a volcano shape with the cardboard,
and then they covered the shape in brown and red
clay. The red was lava flowing down the volcano. They
also attached red clay to the top of the volcano to
make it look like it was erupting.
The volcano looked great. Max, Liz, Anna and Josh
were very proud of their hard work. When they turned
in their project, their teacher was proud too. Thanks to Max’s good habit, they earned an
A+ on both parts of the project.
Answer the Questions:
1. What would Max rather do than play video games?
2. What type of science project was his class assigned?
3. Who wanted Max in their project group?
4. How many people were in Max’s group?
5. Where did the group meet on the second night?
6. What is Max’s good habit? Why is it good?
