Heavy and Light 🌟

Hello, little explorer! Today we will learn about things that are Heavy and things that are Light. Heavy things go thump, thump and feel strong. Light things go whoosh, whoosh and feel easy.

1. Heavy Things

  • A big rock is Heavy, Heavy, Heavy.
  • A stuffed bear is Heavy, Heavy, Heavy.
  • We can count: 1, 2, 3 heavy toys on the floor.

When we lift a heavy thing, our arms say β€œOof!” and we feel proud!

2. Light Things

  • A soft feather is Light, Light, Light.
  • A balloon is Light, Light, Light.
  • We can count: 1, 2, 3 light items floating.

When we hold a light thing, it tickles our fingers and makes us giggle!

  4. Say β€œlight!” when you pick up the light ones.
  5. Clap your hands for each find and smile 😊.

You are a scientist now! Keep looking, counting, and feeling heavy and light all around you. The world is full of thump and whooshβ€”go explore and have fun!

How Volcanoes Form

From Magma to Mountain

Volcanoes grow where tectonic plates collide or drift apart. Heat melts rock into light, buoyant magma that rises, cools, and hardens near the surface, building the cone layer by layer.
