A piece fell through someone’s roof and smashed their table. Another fell through a doghouse and woke up a sleeping dog named Rocky. (Don’t worry. Rocky didn’t get hurt!) What had fallen to earth were big, black chunks of an unusual space rock. And they smelled . . . like Brussels sprouts?
Space Rocks
Space is full of rocks, from giant asteroids to microscopic specks of dust. There are also billions of comets, balls of dirty ice and snow. Pieces of asteroids and comets sometimes break off and form meteoroids, which can be as small as a grain of sand or as large as a big boulder.
When a meteoroid falls through Earth’s atmosphere, it becomes a meteor, also known as a shooting star. If you’ve ever looked up at the night sky and seen a tiny streak of light, what you saw was a meteor burning up as it sped toward Earth. Most meteors burn up completely. But sometimes, chunks of space rock make it to Earth, like the ones that fell on Aguas Zarcas. These now-Earthbound rocks are called meteorites.

Chopsticks
Shay can never hold her chopsticks properly. When she uses them, they crisscross and make an X, and sometimes she cannot quite pick up the slippery pieces of tofu. Her mother laughs.

Matthias and the Dragons
STRIDING QUICKLY ALONG, Matthias glanced uneasily at the black stone cliffs towering beside him. Ahead, a still lake swarmed with dark clouds of midges. Finally, he spied the faraway ocean. Now I know my way back, he thought. I’d better hurry. We’re leaving the inn this afternoon, and Father won’t be too pleased if I’m late.

THE FUN ZONE : Sundial
TAKE THIS SUNDIAL, or shadow clock, outside on a sunny day. It’s not as exact as a watch, but it’s more fun!
