Hi, Kids!
Did you know that gravity keeps Earth and all the planets in our solar system in orbit around the Sun? Gravity also keeps the Moon in orbit around the Earth. It also influences the tides in the oceans. Read more about it in the “Connections” section.
I talked with Dr. Stephen Hammond this month. He is an oceanic explorer and researcher. He works for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Office of Ocean Exploration and Research and studies underwater volcanos! Check out “What’s It Like to Be …” to find out more about his interesting work!
Speaking of interesting things, what are you doing this summer? I don’t think I will be visiting any volcanos – how about you?
Your Friend,
