A Miracle of Nature: The Science of Trees
Trees begin their lives as tiny seeds that sprout roots and shoots when they get enough water, sunlight, and warmth. As a tree grows, its roots spread underground to absorb water and nutrients. The trunk grows taller and thicker each year, adding rings that show the tree’s age. Leaves help trees make food through photosynthesis, using sunlight and air. Trees can live for many years and provide oxygen, shade, food, and homes for animals. Understanding how trees grow helps explain why forests are so important to life on Earth.

The Story of Skiing and Snowboarding
Skiing began thousands of years ago as a way for people to travel across snow in cold regions. Early skis were made of wood and used for hunting and transportation. Over time, skiing became a sport and a form of recreation. Snowboarding developed much later, in the 1900s, combining ideas from surfing and skateboarding. At first, it was not allowed at many ski resorts, but it quickly grew in popularity. Today, skiing and snowboarding are enjoyed around the world and are part of the Winter Olympics.
