Reading

⁣A figure of speech is a creative use of language to generate an effect. Some figures of speech, like metaphor, simile, and metonymy, are found in everyday language. Others, like antithesis, circumlocution, and puns take more practice to implement in writing.

⁣each of two or more words spelled the same but not necessarily pronounced the same and having different meanings and origins.

⁣Making connections is a reading comprehension strategy that involves linking what is being read (the text) to what is already known (schema, or background knowledge). The strategy promotes engagement while reading and, in turn, a deep understanding of the text.

⁣They are the characters, setting, plot, conflict and resolution. These elements keep the story running smoothly and allow the action to develop in a logical way that the reader can follow. Retelling involves students orally reconstructing a story that they have read or has been read to them.

⁣In English grammar, the rule of thumb is that the subject comes before the verb which comes before the object. This means that most of the sentences conform to the SVO word order. Note that, this is for the sentences that only have a subject, verb and object.

⁣The present continuous verb tense indicates that an action or condition is happening now, frequently, and may continue into the future. Aunt Christine is warming up the car while Scott is looking for his new leather coat. They are eating at Scott's favorite restaurant today, Polly's Pancake Diner.

⁣Spelling is actually more difficult than reading as there are many variations of how one phoneme or sound can be represented in print. Spelling depends on many of the same concepts as reading, including phonological (sound) and orthographic (written language) knowledge.

⁣A synonym is a word that has the same meaning as another word (or nearly the same meaning). For example, beautiful and attractive are synonyms of each other because they both refer to someone or something that looks good.

⁣An adverb describes or modifies a verb, an adjective, or another adverb, but never a noun. It usually answers the questions of when, where, how, why, under what conditions, or to what degree. Adverbs often end in -ly.

⁣electric circuit, path for transmitting electric current. An electric circuit includes a device that gives energy to the charged particles constituting the current, such as a battery or a generator; devices that use current, such as lamps, electric motors, or computers; and the connecting wires or transmission lines.

⁣What Is Light Energy? Light energy is a kind of kinetic energy with the ability to make types of light visible to human eyes. Light is defined as a form of electromagnetic radiation emitted by hot objects like lasers, bulbs, and the sun. Light contains photons which are minute packets of energy.

⁣The materials are tested using accelerated aging methods. Stabilizing additives may be used to prolong the useful life of the materials. An array of analytical methods is being used to monitor changes during aging, and finally conservators judge the products for handling and appearance.

Cell structure and organisation

⁣The functioning of the water cycle involves a change in energy which leads to a difference in temperature. The carbon cycle is a biogeochemical cycle that facilitates the exchange of carbon through the different compartments of earth. Carbon is the backbone of all biological compounds and many minerals like limestone. ⁣The terrestrial carbon and water cycles are strongly coupled. As atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration increases, climate and the coupled hydrologic cycle are modified, thus altering the terrestrial water cycle and the availability of soil moisture necessary for plants' carbon dioxide uptake.
