Science
In science we have been learning about rocks and soils, aboveground or underground. I can even name a few off the top of my head ;D - Granite, chalk, obsidian, basalt, slate, sandstone, limestone, mudstone, aplite, kimberlite, pegmatite, flint, coal, ecolite and probably about fifty more random rock types.

Even more rock games
Play rock games, because rock games rock.
Heat
In school we are currently learning about heat. Here is some information related to the topic.
(Click on link-its in green!)
When molecules of any kind of atoms get more energy in them than they had before, they move faster, and we call that "heat". When the molecules move faster, they hit against each other and bounce apart, and so they end up further apart from each other than they were before. The energy can come from sunshine, or from volcanoes, or from friction, or nuclear fusion, or many other sources.
Things are hot if their molecules are moving quickly, and cold if their molecules are moving more slowly. Temperature is a way of measuring how fast the molecules are moving.

Funny Weather Fact
In school we are learning about weather. I found a funny fact in a book: It once rained space shuttle and satellite parts in Australia! This was because a space shuttle crashed into a satellite in space and both exploded, and half of it fell into the sea, other other half ended up in Australia. I bet those kangaroos were surprised.
Medicine
Check out this Prezi that I made. I take 100% credit for this, I was supposed to finish at the end of February.
