Education is the process by which people
acquire knowledge, skills, habits, values, or attitudes. Education
is also used to describe the results of the educational process
Ask students if they've ever been part
of a play or theatrical production. What role did they have? Talk about how,
although the actors are the most visible participants in a play, many people
behind the scenes are involved. These roles are also careers for people who
love the theater. In fact, actors may choose a related career later on. Discuss
the following roles, noting that these are just a few of the many people
involved in putting on a production:
Identify
careers in the theater and understand their primary
responsibilities.
Describe
tasks and challenges involved in a career by performing that role in a
classroom play.
You can tell it's the beginning of fall when
the leaves begin
to change color, the air feels a bit crisper and Halloween costumes
and candy have already arrived in the stores. But when does fall
officially kick off? In 2006, the Autumn Equinox falls on September 22nd.
Autumn Equinox - Activities
If you're looking for things to do for the Autumn
Equinox, why not help out with some yard work? Pick up the fallen apples
or rake the
leaves. This way, you'll be helping your 'rents while being out in nature
at the same time. If that doesn't sound too appealing to you, then how
about having some friends over to bake an apple pie or to make some fall crafts?
Autumn Equinox - Balancing Act
The Fall Equinox is the first day of fall and
signifies the start of shorter days and longer nights in the Northern
Hemisphere. In the Southern Hemisphere, the opposite takes place. On this day,
both day and night are equal, with 12 hours of light and 12 hours of
dark. The balance of light and dark also happens on the Spring Equinox
but in the spring, the days (light hours) become longer and the nights (dark
hours) become shorter
Why Do Leaves Change Color?
The arrival of fall brings cool new back-to-school
clothes, the return of football and hockey and beautiful chameleon
leaves. Are trees as fashion conscious as the celebs or is there more to this color
change? Kidzworld finds out!
Autumn Leaves - Goodbye Green Trees
During winter, there's not enough water or light for
photosynthesis to take place. The trees have to live off the food they stored
during the summer.
The food-making factories start shutting down and the green chlorophyll
disappears from the leaves. When the bright green fades away, the yellow and
orange colors - that have always been underneath - begin to show. They've
been there all along they've just been covered up by
the green chlorophyll. Eventually even those colors fade and the brown
leaves start to drop off.
