To grow carrots, you begin by getting the dirt ready. Break it up so it's nice and loose. Now you can plant the seeds. Make an even row of seeds. Cover them with a thin layer of dirt. Then, water and wait. Before long you'll see little bits of green sticking up. Next, make sure your carrots have enough space to grow. Pull out any weeds. You can also pull up some carrots if they are too crowded. Finally, in two months or so, your carrots will be ready to eat.

If you go to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, you might visit the Liberty Bell. The first thing you'll notice is that it's huge! It weighs more than two thousand pounds. It's also historic. It was made more than 250 years ago. The Liberty Bell rang for many important events. In fact, some say it may have rung to announce the signing of the Declaration of Independence. It doesn't ring today, though. The bell cracked in 1846. You can see the large crack running all the way through it. Still, it's an important piece of American history.

In the late 1800s, going to school was different from today. Instead of riding to school by bus or car, children walked. Back then, many kids walked as far as four miles to school. Rather than separate rooms for each grade, many schools had just one room. One teacher might teach grades one through eight together in one room. And while your school probably has a heating system, in the 1800s they used a wood stove in the classroom. The teacher and older students kept the fire going all winter long.

There is hardly any rain in the desert. Plants need water to grow, so it's hard for them to live in the dry desert. Cactus plants, however, have clever ways of solving this issue. They have special roots and stems to help them grow without much water. Cactus roots are close to the surface to allow the plant to catch the rain quickly. Cactus stems get bigger to store water when the roots bring water in. The bigger stem lets the plant store water for a long time.
