A tool is something that helps people do work. A science tool specifically helps scientists perform their work. Tools in general aid people in various kinds of work.
This document discusses different types of celebrations including birthdays and Mother's Day. It notes that many cultures celebrate the new year and highlights some Egyptian cultural celebrations like celebrating October 6th and Spring Festival. The document also explains that different cultures have their own customs, providing examples that in Egypt it is customary to stand when an elder enters, to sit together for dinner, and to attend Eid prayer with family. Additionally, it mentions the Indian custom of removing shoes before entering someone's house.
This document discusses different tools that scientists use in their work. It identifies 7 tools: a magnifying lens, which makes small things look bigger; forceps, which help separate and hold small things; a balance, which is used to determine how heavy something is; and goggles, which protect the eyes. The document stresses that scientists should be careful in the lab and wear a lab coat when working.
Length is how long an object is and is measured using a ruler. The standard unit for measuring length is the centimeter (cm), such as a pencil being 12.5 cm long. Liquids and gases do not have their own shape and instead take the shape of whatever container they are in.
The document discusses how to measure weather and temperature. A thermometer is used to measure temperature in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit and can indicate whether the weather is hot or cold based on the temperature reading. Temperature measurements help determine what clothes to wear on a given day depending on whether it is hot or cold outside.
Animals can be classified based on their body covering, which includes fur, scales, smooth skin, shells, or feathers. Scales cover reptiles like snakes and turtles, fur covers mammals like dogs and cats, and feathers cover birds like ostriches. Animals also differ in their typical mode of movement such as walking, crawling, flying, or swimming.
Clouds can indicate weather conditions. Feathery or horse-tail shaped clouds mean windy weather, while puffy small clouds suggest nice weather. A blanket-like cloud covering the sky is a sign that precipitation is coming.
This document describes two different types of living places - one with lots of open space, green land, farm animals and small buildings representing a rural area. The other place is crowded with many cars, very little green space and tall buildings representing an urban city area.

Recycling paper saves trees from being cut down and helps keep our trees happy. Recycling also helps save resources by making something new from something old through the recycling process. The document encourages recycling to protect trees and conserve natural resources.
Living things eat and drink to grow, as they need food and water to survive. They can be identified as living because they consume nutrients and liquids. This document discusses how to identify living things based on their need to eat and drink in order to grow.
Matter is everything around us that has mass and takes up space. It includes all objects that can be observed and named, and its amount or mass can be measured using a balance in grams or kilograms. Matter is present everywhere and makes up all things visible in our surroundings.
The document outlines the steps to test a hypothesis through experimentation. It discusses observing samples, making a hypothesis about which powder will dissolve in water, conducting an experiment by putting the powders in water to see which dissolves, and drawing a conclusion about whether the original hypothesis was correct or not.
Winter is a cold season when it sometimes snows, requiring people to wear heavy clothes to stay warm. There are recreational activities people can do in the winter to enjoy the season.
This document discusses neighborhoods, farms, shelter, and transportation. It defines a neighborhood as part of a city where many form a community. A farm is described as a place to grow plants and raise animals. Shelter is defined as a home, whether an apartment or house. Transportation is presented as any way of moving people or things from place to place.
Living things eat and drink to grow, breathe air through organs like lungs or gills, and can be distinguished from non-living things by their need for food, water, and air.
Non-living natural resources include air, water, rocks, and soil. Soil is important for plant growth and provides nutrients for animals to eat plants. Rocks and soil combined with water can be used to create clay pots.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against developing mental illness and improve symptoms for those who already suffer from conditions like anxiety and depression.

The flowering plant life cycle begins with a seed that germinates when it receives water and heat, sprouting into a seedling. The seedling grows into an adult plant with roots, stem, leaves, and flowers. Pollen moves between flowers via bees, water, wind, and other animals, fertilizing the flowers and causing them to develop into fruits containing new seeds, completing the cycle to begin anew.
The butterfly goes through distinct life cycle stages of egg, caterpillar, pupa, and adult butterfly. The egg hatches into a caterpillar that eats leaves to grow large, then forms a hard shell called a pupa where it transforms into an adult butterfly, which emerges from the pupa fully formed to complete the cycle.
White-tailed deer have a life cycle where fawns are born and drink milk from their mothers to grow. The fawns then become yearlings after one year, still resembling the mother. Finally, the yearlings mature into adult deer after further growth.
The earth changes slowly through natural processes like moving water, wind, and ice. Moving water and wind can break down and carry away rocks and soil. Ice forms in cracks in rocks when water freezes, and the expansion of freezing water pushes rocks further apart, breaking them down over time.

The cost of acquiring information by natural selectionCarl Bergstrom
This is a short talk that I gave at the Banff International Research Station workshop on Modeling and Theory in Population Biology. The idea is to try to understand how the burden of natural selection relates to the amount of information that selection puts into the genome.
It's based on the first part of this research paper:

Compositions of iron-meteorite parent bodies constrainthe structure of the pr...Sérgio Sacani
Magmatic iron-meteorite parent bodies are the earliest planetesimals in the Solar System,and they preserve information about conditions and planet-forming processes in thesolar nebula. In this study, we include comprehensive elemental compositions andfractional-crystallization modeling for iron meteorites from the cores of five differenti-ated asteroids from the inner Solar System. Together with previous results of metalliccores from the outer Solar System, we conclude that asteroidal cores from the outerSolar System have smaller sizes, elevated siderophile-element abundances, and simplercrystallization processes than those from the inner Solar System. These differences arerelated to the formation locations of the parent asteroids because the solar protoplane-tary disk varied in redox conditions, elemental distributions, and dynamics at differentheliocentric distances. Using highly siderophile-element data from iron meteorites, wereconstruct the distribution of calcium-aluminum-rich inclusions (CAIs) across theprotoplanetary disk within the first million years of Solar-System history. CAIs, the firstsolids to condense in the Solar System, formed close to the Sun. They were, however,concentrated within the outer disk and depleted within the inner disk. Future modelsof the structure and evolution of the protoplanetary disk should account for this dis-tribution pattern of CAIs.
Discovery of An Apparent Red, High-Velocity Type Ia Supernova at 𝐳 = 2.9 wi...Sérgio Sacani
We present the JWST discovery of SN 2023adsy, a transient object located in a host galaxy JADES-GS

with a host spectroscopic redshift of
2.903
±
0.007
. The transient was identified in deep James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)/NIRCam imaging from the JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey (JADES) program. Photometric and spectroscopic followup with NIRCam and NIRSpec, respectively, confirm the redshift and yield UV-NIR light-curve, NIR color, and spectroscopic information all consistent with a Type Ia classification. Despite its classification as a likely SN Ia, SN 2023adsy is both fairly red (

∼

) despite a host galaxy with low-extinction and has a high Ca II velocity (

km/s) compared to the general population of SNe Ia. While these characteristics are consistent with some Ca-rich SNe Ia, particularly SN 2016hnk, SN 2023adsy is intrinsically brighter than the low-
�
Ca-rich population. Although such an object is too red for any low-
�
cosmological sample, we apply a fiducial standardization approach to SN 2023adsy and find that the SN 2023adsy luminosity distance measurement is in excellent agreement (
≲

) with
Λ
CDM. Therefore unlike low-
�
Ca-rich SNe Ia, SN 2023adsy is standardizable and gives no indication that SN Ia standardized luminosities change significantly with redshift. A larger sample of distant SNe Ia is required to determine if SN Ia population characteristics at high-
�
truly diverge from their low-
�
counterparts, and to confirm that standardized luminosities nevertheless remain constant with redshift.
