Many people divide exercise into one of two categories: strength training or aerobic. Strength training refers to activity that uses weights or a person's body weight to strengthen muscle, while aerobic exercise refers to activity that increases the heart rate for an extended period of time. Athletic trainers often advise people to wait at least forty-eight hours between strength training workouts, to give their muscles time to heal. Aerobic workouts, on the other hand, can be done more frequently.

Among American Robins, the female does most of the nest-building. She starts by selecting a good site. Usually, this is a place protected from rain, wind, and sun, often on tree branches hidden by leaves. Then, using grasses and small twigs, she forms a cup-shaped nest. After forming this cup, the robin adds mud to reinforce it and cement it to its location on the tree branch or other base. Finally, she lines the nest with soft grasses and hairs. All this usually takes about five or six days, and it results in a fine home, about six to eight inches across and three to six inches high.

When the Apollo 13 mission took off, its goal was to land on the moon. However, before it reached the moon, an onboard oxygen tank exploded, damaging the spacecraft and reducing its power. The astronauts faced a life-threatening situation. NASA quickly developed an emergency plan. The three astronauts climbed into the lunar landing module onboard the spacecraft. Though initially intended to keep two men alive while landing on the moon, the lunar module would now help all three return home. The astronauts rerouted their ship to slingshot around the moon, using the moon's gravity to propel them back to Earth. They survived to land safely back in the ocean.

Before humans developed written language, they created pictures on rocks. This "rock art" often portrays animals or abstract designs. The pictures could have been records of events, plans, or messages. There are two basic types: pictographs and petroglyphs. Pictographs were drawn or painted on the surface of rocks with pigments such as charcoal, blood, or chalk. Petroglyphs, on the other hand, were scratched or carved into the rock itself. With some petroglyphs, only the surface layer of rock is removed, showing a lighter color of rock beneath the outer layer. Other petroglyphs consist of carvings cut deep in the rock. Most pictographs have faded, while petroglyphs have endured longer.
