Colours in Nature

 Beauty in Nature is seen everywhere. Nature is full of colour. Plants, animals, birds, and insects have many beautiful colours. Colour, however, for animal, birds, and insects is not only for beauty. It means life to them because it helps them hide from their enemies.

Birds, for example, use their colour to tell other birds to stay away from their nests. They sing and move their wings to snow their colour as a warning to other birds.

One kind butterfly is orange and black. It has a bad taste to birds. Once a bird eats this kind of butterfly it remembers the bad taste. After that, it will never eat another orange and black butterfly!

Some moths use colour to make birds afraid of them. The colour or the marks on the moth’s body is a sing to a bird. The bird sees the colour or the marks and does not eat the moth!

One kind of fish can change its colour. The colour is the same as the surrounding sea plants or rocks. Then the fish’s enemy can’t see it.

Colour is very important to nature’s animals, bird, and insects. Often it can save their lives.

Telling Time

Early men did not have clocks. They told time by the sun and the shadows of trees. At first, they used sticks placed in the ground instead of trees. They made marks on the ground, and the shadows from the sticks told the time of day.

Later, men began to use sundials. Some sundials were boxes with a stick to cast a shadow. Men were able to carry the sundial box with them. The mark for noon was very important. The sundial always had to face the same way or the time was wrong. Sundials were good only on sunny days not on cloudy days. They were the first kind of clock.

What is a Sequoia?

       Sequoias, or redwood trees, grow in the western United States, mostly in California and Oregon. Sequoias are some of the oldest living things on earth. They are also among the biggest. They often grow more than 30 meters high.

To tell the age of a tree it is necessary to cut it down. The trunk of the tree has rings. There is a ring for each year of life of the tree. By counting the rings, people can learn the age of a tree. One sequoia had 3,000 rings! Some sequoias are even older.

Sequoias are evergreen trees and their bark is very tough. It is about 15 centimeters thick and is almost fireproof. The fireproof bark has helped sequoias live through many forest fires.
