run~f y~u imagine a relay race, then you’ll understand how the Pony Express worked. The PonyExpress was set up to get mail to the people who were settling out West, as far as California. It couldtake over a month to get a letter out there, and people got tired of waiting. So two businessmendecided to set up the Pony Express, a kind of relay race on horseback from Missouri to California.

Here’s how it worked. A young rider would grab a mailbag then jump on a horse and ride for tenmiles at top speed. Then he would jump on a fresh horse and keep going. He would change horsesseven times, and then he would pass the mailbag to another rider, who would keep on riding anotherseven horses for another seventy miles until he reached the next rider!

With the Pony Express, the mail got all the way to California in only ten days! But in just a coupleof years, there was no need for the Pony Express. People could use a brand new, electric way tosend messages in only seconds. The telegraph was a lot quicker than the Pony Express--but not asexciting.

When Charlie arrived at his grandparents’ house, it had its usual smell of mothballs and wet dog.Grandma Helga greeted Charlie with a mean look on her face. Grandpa Fritz said, "Heya, Charlie!"as he smoked his pipe. Their red-haired mutt, Rusty, growled and barked at Charlie for hours afterhe got there. Some welcome! At least I am only staying for the weekend, thought Chartie.

On Saturday, Grandma made Charlie hang wet clothes on a clothesline that he could barelyreach. Even worse, he had to hang her funny underwear that is supposed to suck in fat. Then, shemade him shell peas for dinner until his thumb ached. When his chores were done, he picked up oneof her many figurines throughout the house, and Grandma shouted, "Stop being nosey!" Then, shesent him outside because she claimed that she needed some peace and quiet. Charlie thought thiswas odd because he had not spoken much during his stay.

On Sunday, Charlie managed to escape chores. Although friendlier than Grandma, Grandpa Fritzwas equally weird. He told Chadie jokes that were lame and kept referring to Charlie’s best friendSamantha, as his girlfriend. Worst of all, Grandpa liked to pull out his false teeth to try to makeChadie laugh. To be nice, Charlie laughed a fake laugh.

Unfortunately, Rusty never warmed up to Chartie. However, after a few days, the dog wascontent to use Charlie’s shoes as chew toys rather than growl at him.

Have you ever run a relay race? That’s when you run part of the race, then you tag anotherrunner, and he or she runs to tag the next runner, and so on.

If you imagine a relay race, then you’ll understand how the Pony Express worked. The PonyEx~te~¢ ~as ~etep to get mail to the people who were settling out West~ as far as California. It couldtake over a month to get a letter out there, and people got tired of waiting. So two businessmendecided to set up the Pony Express, a kind of relay race on horseback from Missouri to California.

Here’s how it worked. A young rider would grab a mailbag then jump on a horse and ride for ten

miles at top speed. Then he would jump on a fresh horse and keep going. He would change horsesseven times, and then he would pass the mailbag to another rider, who would keep on riding anotherseven horses for another seventy miles until he reached the next rider!

With the Pony Express, the mail got all the way to California in only ten days! But in just a coupleof years, there was no need for the Pony Express.

Water- o-l oundThis model illustrates the water cycle.

SCIENCE CONCEPTS & OBJECTIVES®> Infer how the water cycle works~> Understand the difference between

evaporation and condensation

VOCABULARYcondensation the process by which water vapor

(a gas) changes to liquid water

evaporation the process by which liquid waterchanges to water vapor (a gas)

water cycle the cycle of evaporation, condensa-tion, pre~ip!tati0n, and runoff that determineswater movement between the land, oceans,and atmosphere

l or Your ]InformationWater covers most of Earth’s surface and alsohelps shape the land. The water that flows inrivers carves out canyons and V-shapedvalleys. As glacier ice, water scrapes andscours mountains. Water also carries tons ofsediment to the sea, where sedimentary rockswill form future land. Water is part of everykind of plant and animal and makes life onour planet possible.

When water warms and evaporates, itenters the air as water vapor, a gas. Whenwater vapor cools and condenses, it turns intotiny droplets that form clouds. The waterdroplets in clouds then fall as raindrops uponfurther cooling. All the ways water movesfrom the ocean, to the air, to the land, andback again make up the water cycle.

Water-go-l ound1. Ask students: Where is most of the water

on Earth? (In the ocean; it holds 97 percent ofEarth’s water.) Why doesn’t the supply ofwater run out? (Earth’s water supplyreplenishes itself through the water cycle.)

2. Invite students to make and color themodel (see page 82).

3. Challenge students to flip their books fromback to front and figure out the path ofwater as it moves in a cycle from theocean, to the air, to the land, and back tothe ocean. Ask students what they think ishappening to the water in the ocean at the

4. Then ask: What forms at the top of thearrows? (a cloud) Why? (As water vaporcools, it changes from a gas to tiny drops ofwater that form clouds. This process is calledcondensation.)

5. Where does the cloud move in the flipbook? (over the land) What happens there?(As they cool further, the droplets in the cloudget larger and larger until they fall as rain.)

6. What happens to the water that falls asrain? (It runs off the land into streams thatjoin with the rivers that carry the water back tothe ocean.)

7.What happens to the water in the ocean?(Some of it evaporates into the air.) Have stu-dents flip their books again and again toemphasize that the water cycle never ends.

8.Challenge students to identify where elsewater evaporates from besides the ocean.(lakes, rivers, trees) Then invite them to cre-ate their own flip books that illustrate thewater cycle.

1. Set the bowl in the box at one end. Fill itwith water. This is your "ocean." Close thelid.

2. Position the lamp a few inches over thebox’s lid, directly over the bowl of water.The lamp is the "sun."

Student groups investigate their local sourceof water and present ideas for conservingwater.

Explain to students that although water coversmore than 70 percent of Earth’s surface, only1 percent is fit for consumption. (Ninety-sevenpercent is salt water and the other 2 percent isfresh water trapped in glacier ice.) Over half ofthat 1 percent is inaccessible, far beneathEarth’s surface. Although the amount of wateron Earth always remains the same, a growingpopulation has increased demands on theavailable water supply. In addition, pollutionhas made several water sources unusable.
