But guess what? Just like how you grow bigger and stronger, so do puppies! As they eat, play fetch and learn new tricks, they grow into big clever dogs. Those tiny paws become big and strong, ready to explore the world with you by their side. But here’s the secret: even when they’re big, they still have the same loving heart they had when they were puppies. Taking care of a dog is an important job, but it’s also a whole lot of fun! Dogs need love, attention and care, just like you do. They need food, water, a cozy bed and trips to the park for playtime. When you give a dog your love, they’ll give you theirs right back, with wagging tails and wet nose kisses. Can you…

Hubble Space Telescope Launched in 1990, the Hubble Space Telescope has shown us breathtaking images of the universe. It helped us learn about distant galaxies, stars and planets. GPS satellites The Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites help us find our way. They were launched by the U.S. government and are now used by people all around the world. Weather satellites Satellites like GOES (Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites) monitor Earth’s weather. They keep an eye on clouds, storms and other weather conditions. International Space Station (ISS) The ISS is like a space house where astronauts live and work. It orbits Earth and allows scientists to do experiments in microgravity. Communication satellites Satellites from companies like SpaceX and OneWeb provide internet and communication services to people everywhere, even in remote places.…

YOU CAN HELP BY: Eating smart: Choosing foods that need less water to grow, like fruits and veggies, can help save water. Not wasting food: When we waste food, we’re also wasting all the water that went into making it. So, only take what you can eat. Spreading the word: Tell everyone how important water is for our food and how they can help. Conserving water: Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth and remind others to do the same. Every drop counts! This World Food Day, let’s remember that water is life, and it’s also food. We should care for it, share it and make sure everyone gets enough. By taking small steps, we can be the change that helps our planet and the people who live on…

Here are a few ways in which astronauts are involved with satellites: Satellite deployment and repair Astronauts have been involved in deploying and repairing satellites during space-walks. They can deploy satellites from the cargo bay of the Space Shuttle or the International Space Station (ISS), and they can also repair and upgrade satellites that are in orbit. Hubble Space Telescope The Hubble Space Telescope is a prime example of a satellite that has been serviced by astronauts. Several Space Shuttle missions were dedicated to repairing and upgrading the Hubble Space Telescope to improve its performance and extend its operational lifespan. Earth observation satellites Some astronauts are trained to operate Earth observation instruments on the ISS, which are used to gather data about our planet. These instruments can include cameras, spectrometers…

Eyes in the sky Satellites can take pictures of the Earth from way up in space. They help scientists study things like weather patterns, changes in land and water and even the movement of animals! GPS guiding us GPS satellites are like cosmic mapmakers. They send signals to devices on the ground, helping us know where we are and how to get to different places. Weather watchers Ever wondered how meteorologists predict the weather? They use weather satellites to see clouds, storms and more. These satellites can even track hurricanes and warn us about them. Out-of-this-world TV TV satellites beam your favourite shows from space to your TV. This way, you can enjoy entertainment from all around the world!

Meteorites are rocks that have fallen to Earth from outer space. They originate from other planetary bodies, mostly from the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. An asteroid is a rocky body in space which, when it impacts on Earth, is called a meteorite. The size of meteorites varies greatly – from a pinhead to huge blocks weighing several tonnes, with the largest meteorite currently known on Earth being Hoba at Grootfontein, Namibia (about 60 000 kg). The speed of incoming meteorites can reach 70 km/s. The Earth has always been, and will always be, showered by meteorites. Fortunately, most meteorites are harmless, as they are burnt up before impact, by the Earth’s natural defence mechanism, our atmosphere. However, large meteorites could cause significant damage, creating large meteorite-impact craters, such…

The other Hippocrates This second Hippocrates, also known as ‘the father of medicine’, was born on the Greek Island of Kos in about 460 BCE. Unlike Hippocrates of Chios, he became a famous ambassador for medicine, despite strong opposition by Greek authorities. He was so dedicated that he even endured a twenty year prison sentence for his beliefs. Here he wrote well-known, medical books like The Complicated Body, which describes many of the things we know to be true today. Hippocrates was also the first person to believe that diseases were caused naturally, rather than as a result of gods and superstitions. He separated medicine from religion and argued that disease was not a punishment from the gods, but related to environmental factors, diet and living habits instead. Hippocrates and…
