French painter Georges Seurat was born in Paris in 1859. Seurat received training in art as a young man. He also developed an interest in the science behind art, especially how the eye sees color. As a result of his interest in science, Seurat began to paint in a new style. Instead of mixing colors, he painted small dots, or points, of color on the canvas. From a distance, the colors seemed to blend together. Seurat's new style came to be called pointillism. It can be seen in one of his best-known paintings, A Sunday on La Grande Jatte.

In the water cycle, water travels around the planet in a repeating set of steps. Water from the surface of the Earth goes into the air. For example, when the ocean is heated by the sun, some of the water evaporates. In other words, it turns into water vapor, a gas. The water vapor then rises into the sky. When water vapor starts to condense, or change to liquid water, clouds form. Next, when the clouds are full of water, tiny drops form. The drops fall to Earth as rain or snow. Over time, the water will evaporate again, continuing the cycle.
Water moves around the Earth in a series of steps known as the water cycle.

Recycling things like paper, plastic, and metal helps the Earth by cutting down on trash. Yet many people throw away their newspapers, bottles, and cans instead of recycling them. The question, then, is how to encourage more people to recycle. One way that works is to put recycling containers in more places. Seeing more recycling bins helps people remember to use them. Another way is to teach people why recycling is important. If we make recycling easier and teach people why it matters, more people will join in.

Dogs and wolves are part of the same animal family. Both animals have strong senses of smell and are loyal to their packs. But dogs and wolves are quite different when it comes to people. Dogs are used to living with people and get along well with them. In fact, dogs have been called "man's best friend." Wolves, on the other hand, cannot live with humans. Wolves prefer to live in the wild, where they can hunt for their food. Clearly, dogs belong with people, while wolves do not.
