 1. Students get a bit of coconut oil in small petri dishes 2. The oil is solid below 25 C 3. The students warm it up through glass with the heat of their hand 4. Our body temperature is 36.6 C. Even a small change is not healthy 37 C body temperature already means an inflammation 5. We sweat to cool down, and move to heat up, so our body temperature stays the same 6. The oil shall melt and become liquid from the heat. If you leave it, the oil shall slowly freeze back to solid state 7. Coconut oil is safe to handle. It is a food

 Here is a nice web site about the UAE deserts.  1. Desert food chains September | 2013 | All About Deserts In UAE - watch the web site - list the producers, decomposers, and consumers of the desert food chain 2. The water and carbon cycles October | 2013 | All About Deserts In UAE - draw the water cycle diagram - show evaporation, transpiration, condensation, precipitation, runoff, and ground water

 In 1833 there was a huge meteor storm in North America.  Rea more:  APOD: 2024 December 10 – The Great Meteor Storm of 1833

 This happened in Italy in the mountains in 1963. https://maps.app.goo.gl/3AMo1ovDLnweJMZq5 In the Alps there is a village called Vajont , where a huge dam was built in 1960 and it was 260 m tal l. It was generating 200 MW of electricity continuously. It's enough to power 2 million 100 W light bulbs.  After the disaster water destroyed a few villages. But the dam was left standing there. How did water get through the dam without destroying it? Watch skipping through the video: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nL0H1thTZohpK-MQdJSCfj6K5lOzEExt/view?usp=drive_link Answer questions 1. Why did they build the dam? 2. Was it strong? 3. How many years did it last? 4. Why was the nearby mountain called `walking`? What is special about its geological layers? 5. What did you remember from the viddeo?

 Microwaves are just light, only they are much bigger. Let's see how a set of wires can block or let through polarized microwaves. https://drive.google.com/file/d/10UZJ2Tbx_jMYZ27F70IqYrb0jyL1q5lp/view?usp=drive_link

  Turbidity is how hard it is to see through water. If a water is turbid, you cannot see through it, then it is not good for drinking. That's because turbidity means there are a lot of small particles. Some of them are pesky algae and bacteria! These small particles won't settle down even after few days. They are just not big enough to sink down because of gravity! Good that we can make them stick to aluminum hydroxide particles, and precipitate. This purification is called flocculation,  from Latin  floccus  "lock of hair, tuft of wool.  Let's see a video of this flocculation process! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QWRcxW3sWbF0WKNp0MLZLBQqgHGTIIfN/view?usp=drive_link

 What is going on underground? There is hot magma! And in the very centre there is a hard solid core! Let's draw it! https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1uIyl6kBr19e6f2bgamiM4WVc3IsxOyFc?usp=drive_link Each layer has subdivisions . Let's learn them. Finally, let's draw all the layers to scale 1:10 000 000

 This video about the `tree of life` phylogenetic tree is very useful. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-dkh0fmU-X2BdCf0HtAx67qMiNih8aDB/view?usp=drive_link Chloroplasts from cyanobacteria Red, Green, and Brown Algae Mosses vs Vascular Plants.
