Sound can be measured. Some sounds are low.
Some sounds are high. Pitch is how low or high a
sound is. An object or instrument that vibrates very
slowly makes a sound with a low pitch. One that
vibrates very quickly makes a sound with a high pitch.
Have you ever noticed the different instruments
that play in an orchestra? Sound travels in waves. The
vibrations from the instruments reach your ear. You
hear them as sound. The bigger an instrument is, the
lower the sound that it makes. A tiny flute, called a
piccolo, has a very high pitch. A full-size flute has a
much lower pitch. A violin’s pitch is higher than a viola
or bass. A trumpet’s pitch is higher than a tuba’s.
Volume is different than pitch. You can use
more or less volume to make a sound. You can make
music or your voice louder or softer. Volume and pitch
work together to make sounds. Next time you hear an
instrument play, listen to the radio or even just listen
to someone’s voice as they talk or sing, see if you can
ear the difference between the volume and the pitch.

Inside your nose, there are hundreds of tiny hairs.
These hairs filter the air you breathe. Sometimes dust
and pollen find their way through these hairs and
bother your nasal passages. The nerves in the lining of
your nose tell your brain that something is invading
your body.
Your brain, lungs, nose, mouth, and the muscles of
your upper body work together to blow away the
invaders with a sneeze. When you sneeze, germs from
your nose get blown into the air. Using a tissue or
“sneezing into your sleeve” captures most of these
germs. It is very important to wash your hands after
you sneeze into them, especially during cold and flu
season.
Do you ever sneeze when you walk into bright
sunlight? Some people say that happens to them
often. Scientists believe the UV rays of the sun irritate
the nose lining of these people so they sneeze.
If someone nearby sneezes, remember to tell them
“Gesundheit!” That is a funny-looking word which is
pronounced “gezz-oont-hite.” It is the German word
that wishes someone good health after sneezing.

The Skeleton Key
by Kelly Hashway
Erik rang his grandparents’ doorbell and silently wished
the next four hours would go by quickly. He didn’t want to give
up his entire Saturday afternoon at his grandparents’ house
where there were no kids in the neighborhood.
“You’re right on time,” Grandma Bethany said, opening
the door. “There’s tea and cake in the dining room.”
Cake? At least the first ten minutes would go by quickly. Erik hung his coat on the rack by
the door and saw a strange looking key hanging on a hook. “Grandpa Bill, what’s this funny key
for?”
“That’s a skeleton key. It opens the best room in this house,” Grandpa Bill whispered so no
one else could hear. “It’s the room I go to when your grandmother tries to make me help with the
dishes.”
“What’s so special about the room?” Erik asked.
“It’s a game room,” Grandpa Bill said. “Take the key and see if you can find the room by
the time I finish my tea.”
Erik grabbed the key and stared at it. “A skeleton key? It looks old.” Erik decided the oldest
things in the house were probably upstairs in the walk-up attic. He headed past the dining room
and to the stairs.
Grandpa Bill sipped his tea and shook his head.
Erik knew that meant he was going the wrong way. He headed back to the front
door where he’d found the key.
Erik thought about the oldest part of a house. “The basement! It’s the first part that’s
built.” He rushed to the basement door and looked at the lock. It was different from a
normal lock. He slid the key inside and turned it. With a click, the door opened.
Erik switched on the light and walked down the stairs. The basement was one giant
room with a pool table in the middle and a dartboard on the far wall.
“Awesome!” Erik said.
“Ever learn to play pool?” Grandpa Bill
asked, coming down the stairs.
“No,” Erik said.
“Well then, grab a cue from the rack and I’ll
teach you.”
Erik smiled. The next four hours were going to
fly by.

5th Grade Expository Reading
Spit keeps our mouths moist and softens our food
when we chew. Without spit in our mouths, we
would have a hard time talking. We would find it
even harder to swallow. But for some animals, spit
works better after it has left the mouth. Some
animals are experts at surviving because they are
expert spitters.
Llamas are animals often found in petting zoos and
farms. These animals seem to like their personal
space. A llama that feels threatened or annoyed will
spit slimy gobs at you to get you to leave it alone.
Sometimes llamas even spit on each other to steal
food! This trick usually works, because llama spit
includes food from the llama’s stomach, and it can
be quite smelly. When a llama spits on another
animal, the animal usually loses its appetite and
walks away, leaving its food behind.
The archer fish is a very skilled spitter. This fish is like a
submarine with a loaded weapon. It takes aim and
spits jets of water at insects and other small creatures
to knock them into the water. Then it gulps them
down quickly. To create such a forceful stream of
water, an archer fish closes its gills, and uses its
tongue to form a tube in its mouth. Then the fish
sticks its snout out of the water and aims. Aim!
Launch! Lunch!
Spitting cobras are also known for their expert aim.
These snakes spray poisonous venom from their fangs
to protect themselves. Scientists believe that these
snakes actually aim for the eyes! When the cobra’s
venom gets into the eyes of an animal, the venom
causes terrible pain, and even blindness. This gives
the snake plenty of time to get away.
Spitting is considered to be rude behavior in people.
But for some animals, spitting can be a smart way to
get lunch –or a clever way to avoid becoming dinner.

6th Grade Science
Heat flow by conduction requires contact.
One way that energy is transferred as heat is through direct contact
between objects. is the process that moves energy from
one object to another when they are touching. The heat energy moves
from one object to another. But there is no flow of matter.
Recall that the atoms and molecules in matter are always moving.
The average energy of motion of particles in the warmer object is
greater than that of the particles in the cooler object.When particles
collide, or bump into each other, some of the energy of motion of
faster-moving particles is transferred to slower-moving particles.
Therefore, energy is transferred from the warmer object to the cooler
object. As long as the objects are touching, conduction continues until
the temperatures of the objects are equal.
Conduction can also occur within a single object. In this case,
energy is transferred from the warmer part of the object to the cooler
part of the object by heat flow. Suppose you put a metal spoon into a
cup of hot cocoa. Energy will be conducted from the warm end of the
spoon in the cocoa to the cool end until the temperature of the entire
spoon is the same.
