Facts about Dandelions

Dandelion Facts 


If you had one wish, what would you wish for?


A wish is a desire for something that may or may not come true, but we can wish for it anyway!! Who knows it might be your wish that makes it come true!! So keep making those wishes! Wish upon a star!! Wish upon a dandelion!! Wish upon a birthday candle. Always have a wishful heart!! 

I remember when I was a child I used to make wishes on dandelions. Have you ever done that? I used to think the bigger the dandelion was the faster the wish would come true.

I would like to share some facts about dandelions with you.



Facts about Dandelions:
1. Dandelions are considered an ornamental weed. Their golden yellow blooms quickly turn into fluffy seedheads that disperse in the wind.
2. Pharmacists in 19th-century England made tea from roasted dandelion roots, which is still trendy today due to its coffee-like taste and color without caffeine.
3. A cup of chopped raw dandelion greens provides 112% of the daily requirement for vitamin A. From blossom to root, 100% of this weed (which is also an herb) is edible for most people.
4. Dandelions are part of the daisy family.
5. Dandelions represent three different celestial bodies at three different phases of their life:
The yellow flower represents the sun.
The dispersed seeds look like the stars.
The puffy dandelion ball has a similar appearance to the moon.
6. The seeds (the parts of the plant that fly away) can travel for up to 5 miles after being dispersed in the wind!
7. Not all people think dandelions are a weed.


Now that you’re equipped with fascinating dandelion facts go share the knowledge with your family and friends!

4. All non-avian dinosaurs went extinct about 66 million years ago.

8. Early discoveries inspired legends and fairy tales, as people imagined these bones belonged to giants or monsters.

Facts about Blue Whales

Blue Whale Facts 

  

Did you know that a Blue Whale baby is considered the biggest baby on earth? And, when they are grown adults, their tongue can weigh almost as much as a small elephant. Their hearts are the size of a small car and can weigh as much as 1300 pounds. 

Blue Whales are the loudest animals on our earth!! The call of the blue whale can reach one hundred and eighty decibels and sometimes higher. The sound from the whale can be heard for hundreds of miles under water.



What is your favorite kind of whale?



Facts about Blue Whales:

1. Blue whales are the largest animals to exist on Earth. They can reach lengths of up to 100 feet and weigh over 200 tons. A blue whale’s heart alone is as large as a Volkswagen Beetle.

2. Blue whales feed primarily on tiny shrimp-like creatures called krill. During certain times of the year, a single adult blue whale can consume about 4 tons of krill per day.

3. Blue whales appear true blue when underwater but they have a more mottled blue-gray coloring when on the surface.

4. Their underbellies take on a yellowish hue due to millions of microorganisms living in their skin.

5. They have a broad flat head and a long tapered body ending in wide triangular flukes.

6. Blue whales are among the loudest animals on the planet. They emit a series of pulses, groans, and moans, and can hear each other up to 1,000 miles away. That is loud!

7. These graceful swimmers often travel alone or in pairs, occasionally swimming in small groups.

8. A baby blue whale emerges from its mother weighing up to 3 tons and stretching to 25 feet.

Multiplication Math Trick

Math Trick


I just wanted to share this super easy math trick with you guys. I did not learn this when I went to school, but I wish I had of. I learned it while teaching my children math in homeschool. It makes learning the 9 times table really simple.

On a piece of paper, you write the numbers side by side; in the tens place you start at 0 and count up to 9 and in the ones place you start at 9 and countdown to 0. That way all your answers are right there in front of you. It is that easy to do your 9 times tables. I wish I had this during school. The 9 times table were the hardest to learn for me. Also, my son struggles with Dyslexia and this little math trick comes in handy for teaching him.

There are many cool tricks that make math easier to learn. Please SHARE a cool math trick that you have learned with us?
