       A thermometer is a device used to measure the temperature of a living organism, a place or
an object, using two different scales to measure heat. They are Celsius and Fahrenheit scales. Celsius can be converted to Fahrenheit and vice versa with the use of a converter or a temperature calculator.
       For the Fahrenheit scale, the freezing point is at 32 degrees, while the Celsius scale has it at 0 degree. Boiling point for Fahrenheit is 212 degrees and for Celsius, 100 degrees.
       When you are tasked to read a thermometer, you will need to look at the silver or the red line inside the tube, and you will be able to read the Celsius and Fahrenheit readings of the temperature by looking at the level where the line stops.

       The atmosphere is a mixture of nitrogen (78%), oxygen (21%), and other gases (1%) that surrounds Earth. It is thickest near the surface and thins out with height until it eventually merges with space.
       The atmosphere is an important part of what makes Earth livable. It blocks some of the Sun’s dangerous rays from reaching Earth. It traps heat, giving Earth a comfortable temperature. Oxygen within our atmosphere is essential for life.
       The air in our atmosphere has some variable components. These variable components include water vapor, dust particles and ozone. Although these are found in small amounts, they can have significant effects on weather and climate.
       The atmosphere is divided into five layers. The first layer is the troposphere, it is above the surface and contains half of the Earth’s atmosphere; weather occurs in this layer. The second layer is the
stratosphere. Many jet aircrafts fly in it because it is very stable; also, the ozone layer absorbs harmful rays from the Sun. The third layer is the mesosphere. Meteors or rock fragments burn up in the mesosphere. The fourth layer is the thermosphere,  with auroras and also where the space shuttle orbits. The fifth layer is the exosphere. The atmosphere merges into space in the extremely thin exosphere. This is the upper limit of our atmosphere.

       Vegetarianism is the voluntary abstinence from eating meat. It is the practice of a diet that excludes all animal flesh, including poultry, fish or crustacea.
       Vegetarians refrain from eating meat for various reasons, including religious, health and ethical ones. Vegetarians who eat eggs and dairy products are categorized as lacto-ovo vegetarians. Strict vegans do not consume any kind of animal derived product.
       Vegetarianism is recommended as a dietary therapy for a variety of conditions, including heart disease, high cholesterol, type-2 diabetes and stroke. Vegetarianism is a major dietary therapy in
an alternative treatment of cancer. Other conditions treated with a dietary therapy of vegetarianism include obesity, osteoporosis, arthritis, allergies, asthma, environmental illness, hypertension, etc.
       Vegetarianism in America received a lot of interest during the last half of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century. The growing health consciousness of Americans is probably the major reason for the surge in interest in vegetarianism. Nutrition experts have built up convincing evidence that there are major problems with the conventional American diet, which is
centered around meat products. They are high in cholesterol and saturated fat, but low in fiber. Heart disease, cancer and diabetes, which cause 68% of all deaths in America, are all believed to be
influenced by this diet.

       Did you know cambium? Well, it is merismatic plant tissue, commonly present as a thin layer which forms new cells on both sides. It is found right beneath the bark on any tree.
       Cambium cells can transform into different tissue, xylem or phloem, depending upon a tree’s current specific needs. When two trees are grafted together, it’s the cambium layer of each that is joined.
       When a tree grows, it happens in the cambium layer. Cambium cells are responsible for increasing the girth of stems, eventually becoming the annual growth rings that mark time.
       Cambium cells are the building blocks of a tree. They provide the physical structure that holds the tree erect, giving it strength and flexibility.

       Flowering plants are divided into two groups. They are dicotyledons or dicots and monocotyledons or monocots.
       Dicots are seeds that have two parts, such as
a bean seed. A bean seed that has soaked in water for a day or two has a soft outside covering. This is the seed coat. The seed coat would probably slip off the seed easily. The bean seed has a slit going down the middle of the seed. Inside is a tiny plant called
an embryo. The two large parts of the seeds are called cotyledons. They supply the food for the young plant when it’s growing. The bean seed has two
cotyledons.
       Monocots are seeds that only have one
cotyledon, such as the corn seed. The corn seed does have a seed coat, but it does not slip off as easily as the bean seed. The corn seed will not split like the bean seed. It stays in one piece. One
cotyledon surrounds the embryo. It is a lighter color than the rest of the seed and is called the
endosperm. It provides food for the growing plant.

       Stalactites and stalagmites are unique natural appearances.
       They occur in limestone caves. The stalactite is above, and hangs downward like an icicle.
Meanwhile, the stalagmite is below and sticks up. They grow in pairs, the slightly acidic water dissolves some of the limestone, carrying it downward.
       Sometimes the stalactites are missing, as they sometimes break off and fall. Or human visitors may break them off, and take them away. Often, the stalactite and stalagmite will connect, and become
a column.
       The flow of water, slightly acidic from acid rain or from passing through something acidic, is what digs out the caves. It essentially widens cracks in the rock. And the ceiling may also collapse, making
a mound of limestone on the floor, and a concave dome above.
