Our bodies contain thousands of miles of blood vessels. Enough to circle the earth 2 1/2 times if laid out end-to end! Arteries and veins are the main throughway for blood to carry cells. But in between veins and arteries are these tiny vessels called capillaries. Capillaries only can allow red blood cells to pass in a single-file line! This experiment helps to illustrate how blood cells are able to fit through the tiny capillaries.
Who is the greatest soccer player ever to have lived? Okay, maybe that’s a controversial question– great players crop up every year. But if you look at who all of the great soccer players are compared to, you’ll find Pelé’s name appearing over and over. Who the heck is Pelé, anyway? The Sunday Times, a London Paper put it this way, “How do you spell Pelé? G-O-D.”
Imagine this: you and your best friend are calmly paddling your canoe through the bayou. The sky is high and colorless, the water is as still as bottle glass. Your friend suggests that you both pull the canoe to the water’s edge, because it’s right around lunchtime, and your stomachs are growling. As you maneuver the light boat under an overhanging tree, dripping with Spanish moss, your paddle brushes against a log… Or at least what you thought was a log.
Before you know it that log is thrashing around, snapping its jaws, stirring up the water with its powerful tail. You are both yelling at the top of your lungs, your hearts beating like tom-tom drums. But as quickly as the commotion began, it’s over, and both of you are left with your mouths open slightly, and one question on the tips of your tongues: was that an alligator or a crocodile?

We all know that the earth is round, right. But way back in time our ancestors believed that the earth was flat and that if you reached the end-you would fall off!
Well let’s say that you had to prove to somebody that the earth was round. How would you do that? But, before you go pulling out your handy map of the world- you have to prove your point with no tools and no maps. You can only use simple logic. Take some time and think about it before you read the answer in the last part of this article.

They say that baseball is America’s past time, and once you understand some of its history, you might see why. For one thing, baseball was invented in the early 19th century by a fellow named Alexander Cartwright. He took a little influence from the British game of cricket, and combined it with the basic tenants of rounders, another British stick and ball game. Cartwright came up with a list of rules, most of which are still in place today.

In many of the previous issues of the Tribune we listed many great recipes for delicious foods.

Here are two drink recipes, one that might hail from far away in the middle of the Pacific ocean, that you will be sure to enjoy!

If you do not know what I am talking about, Play Dough is the soft, squishy, mushy substance that you can mold into your favorite shapes. Once you are done, you can mush it down and reshape it into any shape that you want. Well, we thought that if you enjoyed that project, you might also enjoy this other project that is very similar-but you get to cook the shape that you design and keep it. Remember to ask an adult for help with the stove.
We have all heard scary stories about these animals. We have heard that they fly through the night and look for humans to bite and suck out their blood. We have also heard that they can turn into Dracula when there is a full moon.
We are talking about vampire bats of course…and you’ll be relieved to know that they do not attack humans and they do not turn into Dracula. These myths, however, have been around for hundreds of years and they continue to generate fear and anxiety in humans when we see these flying creatures. Well read on and learn the facts about these flying mammals so you no longer have to fear these creatures of the night.
