CaN OstRicheS Fly ??

Ostrich is a kind of bird. Birds usually fly, don't they ?
Then, what helps birds fly ? One of the reasons is birds usually have light weight.
The ostrich, however, is not a very light-weight bird. Ostriches are actually the biggest kind of bird in the world and can weigh over 300lbs. Ostriches can't fly. It’s mostly because of their size and weight. Even though they can’t fly, ostriches still have wings !! The wings are used to help them stay steady while running. Did you know that ostriches are really fast runners? They can run at over 40 miles per hour.. It's very fast, isn't it ??

Why dOes soDa “eXploDe” wHen yoU sHaKe iT up?

Soda is fizzy because it contains “carbon dioxide”. The carbon dioxide doesn't mix in with the soda. That's why soda is bubbly when you drink it. However, because the carbon dioxide doesn't mix in, it's always trying to escape from the bottle!

Normally the bubbles in a soda are just hanging out at the top of the container, but when a bottle of soda is shaken, the carbon dioxide bubbles knocked all around the bottle! Then, when the bottle is opened, all of the bubbles try to escape at the same time!! The ones at the bottom and on the sides of the bottle rush out that they accidentally bring some of the soda with them.. And that's the reason why soda "explode" when you shake it up..
