3-D "Why?"

Directions:
1. Read a poem, “Why?”.

WHY? by A.T. Veloro There are things I can’t explain, Things that puzzle the mind, Questions for which I need Satisfactory answers to find. Why the dew on the grass? Why do flowers die? Why death of beauteous things? Why, oh why, oh why? Why the night, why the day? Why the lightning’s blinding flash? Why, the wind’s mighty roar? Why, the thunder’s deafening crash? Why do eyes open and close? Why can’t they keep open? And shy do they open when I want Them shut tight in sleep? Why these things I can’t explain; But here I am where destiny brings; My books I read by night and day, Soon to learn the whys of things.

3-C What is Dew?

Directions: Read a short passage, “What is Dew?”, then answer questions below.

What Is Dew? If you are an observant person, you will notice that grass, leaves, and even flower petals contain tiny drops of water in the morning. These tiny drops are actually the result of moisture from the air which has condensed during the night to form dew. Thus, dew is moisture deposited directly from the air on surfaces near the ground, and this change occurs when the temperature cools. Dew should be differentiated from other types of precipitation, like sleet or drizzle, fog or mist. Sleet or drizzle freezes before reaching the ground: fog or mist, on the other hand, is moisture suspended in the lower atmosphere and does not settle on surfaces.

a.   What is the main idea of the reading passage? b.   How is dew formed? Differentiate it from sleet and fog. c.   In which books do you get information on topics like this?
