5 SENSES
"What is your favorite memory? Is it a memory of a kitten purring on your lap as you stroked its warm, smooth, silky fur? Or do you recall zooming down a hill on a shiny new bicycle as the wind whistled in your ears? Perhaps your favorite memory is watching the lion tamer calm roaring lions in a circus tent filled with the buttery smell of popcorn. Whatever your favorite memory is, you have it because of your five senses: sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell."

CELLS
"All living things have one thing in common – they are made from cells. Cells are often described as 'building blocks.' For instance, you are made of many trillions of cells. Yet cells are not just tiny bricks. Like you, each one gathers fuel, creates energy, grows, reproduces, and even dies. Every cell also carries a complete set of instructions. In a plant cell, it determines things like leaf size. In a tiger, it tells each cell in a stripe what color to be."

ENERGY
"Brrrrrraaaaa! The alarm clock sounds. Do you leap out of bed already in high gear? Or do you bury your head under the pillow and go back to sleep? No matter what you do, you're using energy. Scientists define energy as the ability to get work done. The work can be anything from breathing to giving a party to building a pyramid-to taking a nap. But where is energy? Can you touch it? No, but you can. . . "

NUTRITION
There's a song from the musical Oliver! called "Food, Glorious Food." A group of children sing about "magical food, wonderful food, marvelous food, fabulous food." Those words just about sum up most people's feelings about eating. Food is tasty. It makes the feeling of hunger go away. But most important of all, just like air and water, food is something your body needs for survival.
