Tigers


Tigers are not only related to lions, cougars, and jaguars- they are related to other wild cats.  Tigers have black stripes and some have white stripes.  Some tigers are black and white.  They have sharp teeth and sharp claws.

Frogs

First frogs turn in to baby tadpoles.  Then they grow when they eat.  Then when they’re done with tadpoles, they turn in to kids.  Then when they’re done with kids, they turn in to adults.  That’s how frogs grow. The end.

The Planets




Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun and the eighth largest.  It is many ways similar to the moon because its surface is cratered and very old.
Venus is close to earth.  Its clouds reflect sunlight so it appears to be the brightest planet in the sky.
Earth is an ocean planet, home of water and life.  It is the third planet from the sun.
Mars is a cold, desert world.  It is half the diameter of Earth and has the same amount of dry land like Earth.
Jupiter is the most massive planet in our Solar System with four large moons.
Saturn is made mostly of hydrogen and helium.  It is the sixth planet from the Sun.
Uranus is the seventh planet from the Sun.  It is one of the two ice giants of the outer solar system.
Neptune is the ice giant.  Neptune was the first planet located through observation in the sky.
Pluto is much smaller than any of the official planets and is now known as a “dwarf planet.”

El Sistema Solar


El Sistema Solar
El Sistema Solar se compone de objetos como asteroides, planetas, el Sol, meteoritos, órbitas, y cinturón de asteroides.
Un planeta está hecho de masa y gases.  También está hecho de rocas que orbitan alrededor del Sistema Solar.
Una órbita es donde los planetas rotan alrededor del Sol.  Porque si no van en una órbita chocan.
El Sol es una bola gigante de gases, y los planetas rotan alrededor del Sol.  El Sol también es brillante como una estrella.
El cinturón de asteroides es un grupo de rocas juntas en medio de Marte y Jupiter también se le puede llamar que está entre medio de los planetas interiores y exteriores.
Los planetas interiores son fríos, pequeños, y rocosos.  Los planetas exteriores son grandes, gaseosos, y tienen color.

 The Solar System
The Solar System consists of objects like asteroids, planets, the Sun, meteors, orbits, and asteroid belt.
A planet is made of mass and gases.  Also it’s made of rocks that orbit the solar system.
An orbit is where the planets rotate around the sun.  Because if they are not in an orbit, they will collide.
The Sun is a giant ball of gas, and planets rotate around the sun.   The Sun is also a shining star.
The asteroid belt is a group of rocks together in the middle of Mars and Jupiter.   Also you can say it is between the interior and exterior planets.
The interior planets are cold, small and rocky. The exterior planets are large, gaseous, and have color.
