Science for Kids: The Water Cycle

Earth has been recycling water for a very long time.
The water cycle is a way in which water moves around the world.Without it, nothing would grow and humans wouldn’t be able to live, the world’s water is never used up.

> The sun heats up the sea water, that makes it as water vapour.

> Vapour rises in the atmosphere, then down as rain.

> The rain falls back to the sea, then water vapour comes up and forms into clouds, water collects in rivers and goes back to the sea.

The continuous movement of water on, above and below the surface of the Earth.

Science for Kids: The Human Body | The Skeleton

We have a skeleton on the inside of your body. Without the skeleton our body would be as floppy as jelly. There are over 200 bones in our body, bones are very tough and light. They are made from calcium and collagen.

The skeleton does three jobs:

1. To protect our body for example skull protects our brain, ribs protects our organs such as hearts and lungs, backbones protects our spinal nerves.
2. To support our body, it lets us stand upright.
3. To help us move, muscles are joined to the bones it controls the way the bones move.
