What is Mars? Mars is the fourth planet from the sun and the next planet beyond Earth. It is, on average, more than 142 million miles from the sun. Mars is about one-sixth the size of Earth. Mars is known as the Red Planet. It gets its red color from the iron in its soil. Mars is named after the ancient Roman god of war. The Greeks called the planet Ares. The Romans and Greeks associated the planet with war because its color resembles the color of blood. Mars has two small moons. Their names are Phobos and Deimos. They are named after the sons of Ares, the Greek god of war. Phobos means "fear," and Deimos means "panic." What Is Mars Like? Mars is very cold. The average temperature on Mars is minus 80 degrees Fahrenheit -- way below freezing! Its surface is rocky, with canyons, volcanoes, and craters all over it. Red dust covers most of its surface. Mars has clouds and wind, just as Earth does. Sometimes the wind blows the red dust into a dust storm. The dust storms can look like tornados and can be seen from Earth. Mars has about one-third the gravity of Earth. A rock dropped on Mars would fall more slowly than a rock that falls on Earth. A person who weighs 100 pounds on Earth would only weigh about 37 pounds on Mars because of the reduced gravity. Mars' atmosphere has much less oxygen than the atmosphere of Earth. Its atmosphere is mostly carbon dioxide. Canright, Shelley, ed. "What is Mars?" NASA. 30 December 2009.

Though drugs use is increasing among young people, a higher percentage of young people have tried alcohol than all of the drugs available combined.

Amongst eighth graders, only 43% have had a drink in the last year, and 74% amongst high school seniors. Of the seniors, only 4% use alcohol daily.

Everyone drinks

Drinking reduces your ability to make good judgments and increases the risks you may take. You are more likely to engage in activities you would not do if you did not drink.

I can still drink and be in control.

Prefer to direct one's energy to deal with ideas, information, explanations or beliefs, or "the inner world".

Marcie has noticed that her best friend, Judy, has been acting depressed ever since her parents got a divorce, but lately she has been suddenly acting very happy. She has also starting to talk like she won't be around soon, but both of her parents still live in town. These can both be signs that Judy may be considering suicide. What steps should Marcie take?

Marcie should start by talking to Judy and asking her if she has had suicidal thoughts. Marcie should take the time to listen to Judy and offer help. Then Marcie should tell a responsible adult about the situation so that they can get help for Judy. Marcie should continue to monitor Judy and her actions and to be there for her when needed.

"Organs Aid Navigation: Dolphin" Moving at such speeds, navigation becomes critically important. Fish are helped by their lateral line system, but mammals lost that far back in their ancestry and the toothed whales have instead a system based on the sounds used by shrews and elaborated by bats, sonar. Dolphins produce the ultra-sound with the larynx and maybe an organ in the front of the head, the melon. The frequencies they use are around 200,000 vibrations a second, which is comparable to those used by bats. With its aid, they can not only sense obstacles in their path but identify from the quality of the echo, the nature of the objects ahead. This can be demonstrated easily enough for dolphins flourishing in oceanaria and eagerly cooperating in training. Blindfolded dolphins demonstrate that they can, without difficulty, pick out particular shapes of floating rings and will swiftly swim through the water, with blindfolds on their eyes, and exultantly collect on their snout the one shape that they know will bring a reward."Attenborough, D. 1979. Life on earth. Boston, MA: Little, Brown, and Company. 319 which is an example of a paraphrase? a. Moving so quickly, navigation is critically important. b. Moving at such speeds, navigation becomes critically important. c. Navigation is critical. d. Navigating is very important when traveling at high speeds.

1) Patricia is in a career class. She has been asked to choose a career to highlight and share with the class.2) Patricia really likes mathematics and discovers that there are three careers in math that are becoming really popular - statisticians, actuaries, and basic mathematicians. She can only do one so she has to choose one.3) She really is most interested in statisticians, but she is afraid that the class might be bored with that occupation description. Though she is not as interested in actuaries, they might be a bit more interesting - especially since she can point to the example of the actuarian used in Let's Make a Deal.4) Finally she decides to do the statistician because she knows the research will help her most as she considers this career, and she thinks she might be able to find a way to make it more interesting to her classmates if she is excited about it.5) After her presentation she felt pretty good about what she had to say to the class, but she doesn't think she succeeded in showing her classmates how exciting this field could be. Then she realized that she should have mentioned all the polls being conducted in the upcoming election and decides that next time she might use that to help make her presentation better.Looking at the decisions that Patricia had to make, what step was she on in the process in paragraph 5?
