Wildlife
by Marc
„

„

When the world was formed man along
with lots of animals, trees, birds and
plants were there.
So some governments and people have
joined together to protect whatever
animals, nature, birds, fish were left in
the wild.
Generations ago, most of the world
relied on this wildlife to sustain human
life.
Fewer and fewer communities rely on
hunting and fishing.
Wildlife can be found in all
ecosystems, Deserts, rainforests,
plains, and other areas.
A wild animal is one that lives entirely
without care of man.

Some rocks are made under
water.
Some rocks are made out of
mud.
Rock which are made from
other rocks are called
metamorphic rock.
Air and Wind
by Cheyene

Air is the mixture of gases,
mainly nitrogen and oxygen, that
forms the Earth’s atmosphere.
Some times air is hot and moist.
You can hear escaping from a
tire.
The air that is all around us is a
mixture of gases.
Only oxygen is used by your
body as it is found in the air.
Trees

The oxygen we breath is
released by trees.
Trees prevent erosion.
Trees Provide food shelter and
material for Animals and man.
A tree is a plant.
As long as a tree lives it never
stops growing.
A tree is the largest plant
In the world.wood is made in
to paper.
Trees give us fruit and flowers.
Water

The earth has a limited amount of
water.
The amount of water on Earth
hasn’t ever changed.
That water keeps going around
and around.
There is water in the air you are
breathing.
It takes about one million tiny
water droplets to make just one
raindrop.
Today men build machines which
turn the great power of water into
electricity.
Soil
by Charlsie
„
„
„
„
„
„
Near the surface of Earth,the heat of
summer makes rocks expand, and
the cold of winter makes them
shrink.
Soil is really the most important
part of the earth’s crust.
Without soil we could not live on
this planet.
Most people live only where there
is soil.
Soil is made of small pieces of
rock and the decayed remains of
dead organisms.
It takes thousands of years for
natural processes to break rocks
into small pieces that make up soil.
Coal and Oil
by Lawson
„
„
„
„
„
„
Oil and gas, along with coal are known
as fossil fuels. This is because they were
formed from fossils, the remains of
plants and animals that lived long ago.
Today coal lies in the ground in layers
calls seams.
Coal was formed about 300 million years
ago.
Today machines dig most of coal from
the tunnel walls.
When natural gas of oil comes from a
well they are impure.
Oil and gas provide hundreds of goods
and services you use every day.
