Reading journal

Ryan was looking forward to sleeping over at his friend Robert's house. Though they had been classmates for a while, the two had only recently become good friends. Ryan packed up his sleeping bag, a pillow, and a few of his favorite toys and games, and then his mom dropped him off at Robert's. Robert met Ryan on the porch and the two did their secret handshake and started playing right away. First they played pirates in Robert's tree fort. Next they played ninjas in the driveway. Then it started getting dark and they went inside of Robert's house. As soon as they walked in the house, Ryan's eyes starting getting red and itchy. He saw a big orange cat sitting on the couch. Then he started sneezing uncontrollably. "I'm sorry, Robert. It's been a lot of fun, but I have to call my mom."

1-Why do Ryan's eyes get red and itchy when he walks into Robert's house? how do you know this?

Life on Mars

Mars is an exciting possibility. No other planet in our solar system is more likely to have life. And it’s close enough to get there in less than a year using modern technology. For scientists, the main reason to go to Mars is simple: to look for life. Today, Mars is cold and dry but we know that there was once water on its surface. That means there could have been life there. And there might be water underground where life still survives. The !rst landing on Mars was in 1976 and there have been more since then. The Americans, Europeans, Indians and Chinese are all sending new expeditions in the next few years. Now the UAE has joined the major space nations with their Emirates Mars Mission, which departs in 2020. Europa The huge planets furthest away from the sun have more than 160 moons. Europa, one of Jupiter’s moons, is particularly exciting. Below the ice on its surface, there is a deep saltwater ocean. On Earth, where there is water there is life. Future expeditions to Europa will discover if the same is true on this distant moon.
