to the front of the classroom facing away from the board. Write a vocabulary word
on the board and have the rest of the students explain the word (without saying it)
to their team members who are at the front. The first student to guess the word
receives a point for their team, and the team with the most points at the end wins
the game. If necessary, it is also possible to use previous vocabulary words.
Additional Writing and Speaking (optional)

Writing
Have the students answer the Connect to Yourself question either on spare paper
or in the blank Memo section in the back of the workbook. Encourage them to write
at least five or six sentences using the information from the passage and their own
experience. Then edit their responses and have the students present them at the
front of the class.

Positive – major tourist attractions / beneficial for farming / a natural fertilizer /
create electricity
Step 2
Volcanoes have both negative effects and positive effects. The negative effects
include death and destruction. Lava flows can destroy buildings, plants, and
wildlife habitats. Mixtures of hot gas and ash can move quickly and are very
deadly. Finally, volcanic ash can cause breathing problems or can cause houses
to collapse. It can also damage jet engines. But there are positive effects of
volcanoes as well. Some volcanoes are major tourist attractions. Moreover,
volcanic eruptions can be beneficial for farming because the ash from volcanic
eruptions acts as a natural fertilizer. Finally, volcanic heat can be used to create
electricity.

Intrusive – magma cools and hardens / make buildings and gravestones / make
cobblestone streets
Extrusive – lava cools and hardens / make roads and statues / thousands of
tiny bubbles / remove dead skin
Step 2
Igneous rock is formed by volcanoes. There are two types of igneous rock:
intrusive rock and extrusive rock. Intrusive igneous rock is formed when magma
cools and hardens under the earth’s surface. Granite and diorite are examples
of intrusive rock. Granite is a very hard rock used to make buildings and
gravestones. Diorite is a hard rock used to make cobblestone streets. Extrusive
igneous rock is formed when lava cools and hardens on the earth’s surface.
Basalt and pumice are examples of extrusive rock. Basalt is rich in iron and used
to make roads and statues. Pumice is very light because it contains thousands
of tiny bubbles and it is often used to remove dead skin from people’s feet.

Step 2
Volcanic eruptions have caused new natural landscapes. An example of this is
the Giant’s Causeway in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. An Irish legend says
that Fingal, a giant from Scotland, came to Ireland to fight with an Irish warrior,
Finn McCool. Finn McCool was much smaller than Fingal, so he pretended to be
his own baby. This scared Fingal, and the Giant’s Causeway was destroyed when
he ran away. Scientists, however, know that the area where the Giant’s Causeway
is located experienced heavy volcanic activity 50 to 60 million years ago.
Columns formed as a result of a lava plateau hardening and cracking. It became
a popular tourist attraction and is still known for its beautiful scenery.

8. Some objects appear white because they reflect all colors of light.
9. It bounces off, but does not scatter. Instead, it is reflected at an equivalent
angle and a mirror image is reflected.

Step 1
Absorption – takes light in / different colors of light
Reflection – bounces off objects / a rough surface / a smooth surface
Refraction – moves from air to water / has two parts
Step 2
When light hits an object, the object can absorb the light, reflect it, or refract
it. When an object takes light in, it is called absorption. Different colors of light
are absorbed by different objects. Reflection takes place when light bounces off
objects. When light hits a rough surface, it scatters. If light hits a smooth surface
like glass or metal, it reflects a mirror image. Light bends instead of bouncing if it
passes from one substance to another. It can occur when light moves from air to
water. It can make a solid object look like it has two parts because of refraction.

Step 2
Seurat was a painter during the impressionist movement. Impressionist artists
used light to show the changing effect of light in nature. Seurat wanted to use
science to show light and color in his art. Seurat’s A Sunday on La Grande Jatte is
made of colored dots. It has more than three million colored dots. This painting
style became known as pointillism. With pointillism, colors are not mixed on
the canvas. Instead, the human eye blends colored dots that are close together
into different tones. This allows more light into paintings and makes colors look
brighter. A Sunday on La Grande Jatte is now a famous masterpiece.

To Find Food – hang sticky threads / trap other insects
For Protection – camouflage themselves
Step 2
Bioluminescent animals can glow or light up. This is caused by a chemical
reaction that allows some creatures to produce light with their bodies. These
animals light up for different reasons. For example, fireflies light up to warn of
possible danger. They also use their lights to search for potential mates. Glow-
worms hang sticky threads in caves and then use their lights to attract and
trap other insects for food. Some kinds of squid and jellyfish light up in bright
water. They use their lights to camouflage themselves from predators. Scientists
study bioluminescence in animals in order to find new medical methods to help

good fortune. They also decorate their homes with oil lamps, wear new clothes
and eat large meals together with their families. Families and friends exchange
gifts, too. At night, fireworks light up the sky. Diwali is a great way for people to

Step 2
Extreme fears of a certain thing or situation is called a phobia. Phobias
commonly develop after a person has a particular scary experience. Later, a part
of the brain called the amygdala stores the memory. Then a strong reaction is
triggered by similar situations. Phobias make the person feel afraid of potential
danger. Phobias create fear that interferes with the person’s daily life. Social
phobia, for example, makes it hard to make friends. And claustrophobia, which is
being afraid of compact spaces, can make it impossible for someone to ride in
an elevator. However, phobias can be overcome by facing them gradually, talking
to a doctor, or taking medicine.

What – tiny bumps on the skin / its feathers have been plucked
When – get a chill or feel scared
How – connected to the hairs / the hairs stand up
Why – had more body hair / it trapped air / look bigger and scarier
Step 2
Goosebumps are tiny bumps on the skin. The name came from the skin looking
like a bird’s skin after its feathers have been plucked. Goosebumps form on our
skin when we get a chill or feel scared. There are tiny muscles under our skin
that are connected to the hairs on our body. When the muscles contract, bumps
form and the hairs stand up. In the past, humans had more body hair. When this
hair stood up, it trapped air and kept them warm. And in dangerous situations,
it made them look bigger and scarier. Getting goosebumps may have been
beneficial to our ancestors, but it’s not useful to us now.

Dance of Death as a warning to German society about turning away from God.
Later, Pieter Bruegel the Elder painted another grim work, The Triumph of Death,
which portrays an army of skeletons killing and destroying everything in its path.
Composers have also created works in the Dance of Death genre. Camille Saint-
Saëns’s Danse Macabre, for example, represents an old French superstition
about dancing skeletons.

Step 2
There are about 6,000 to 7,000 languages in the world. Languages can change or
become extinct over time. Language is dependent on society, so social changes
can cause languages to change. New words can be added because of new
inventions and technologies. A language becomes extinct when the last speaker
of that language dies. The Bo language and a Scottish dialect called Cromarty
both recently became extinct. Some people are working to preserve languages.
For example, Google is trying to save endangered languages from becoming
extinct with their Endangered Languages Project website.

An American linguist named Benjamin Whorf believed people who speak different
languages think and see the world differently. He came up with the Sapir-
Whorf hypothesis in the 1950s. Lera Boroditsky is a psychologist who ran a
series of experiments to test Benjamin Whorf’s ideas. From her experiments,
she found evidence that language affects thought. However, not all agree with
the hypothesis. It is hard to study and record thought, so a perfect test of the
hypothesis does not exist. But maybe one day, the perfect test will exist as
technology and research become more advanced.

Step 2
Hand signals are an important part of baseball. Umpire Bill Klem is given credit
for using hand signals in baseball in 1905. But actually, a player named William
Ellsworth Hoy first used hand signals as early as the late 1880s. Hoy was deaf
and needed hand signals to understand the umpire’s calls. Soon after, hand
signals started to be used by other players and umpires. Today, teams try to
keep their hand signals secret so that other teams do not understand them.
However, umpires’ hand signals are supposed to be understood by everyone.
