Party Time

It’s party time! The grade 2 pupils are drinking juice. Some
children hold glasses. Some boys drink from bottles and mugs.
Some girls sip from cups. Teacher holds a big pitcher of orange
juice. Suddenly, Ferdie shouts, “Look, we are drinking orange
juice of different shapes.” The pupils laugh.
Teacher says, “Don’t laugh, children. Ferdie is just giving
his observation. Juice is liquid.”
“Yo u see,” says Ferdie, “liquid takes the shape of its
container. Liquid has no shape of its own.”
“That’s a good lesson, Ferdie!” exclaims Teacher.

Air and Sunlight

Miss Cruz asked her Science class, “What do plants need in

order to live and grow?” John answered, “Air and sunlight.”
“Good answer,” said Miss Cruz. “Green plants need sunlight to
make their food. They also need water and air.”
