Kingdom: Animalia Family: Lampyridae This page Phylum: Arthropoda Genus: Photinus proudly Class: Insecta Species: P. pyralis Order: Coleoptera sponsored by A firefly is a beetle common in many places around the world. In North America, the common eastern firefly is found in grasslands, forests and even in backyards. The average firefly is 10-14mm long. During the day, they look like average dark brown beetles. They are spectacular at night. There are two chemicals in a firefly’s tail called luciferase and luciferin. These chemicals mix in the beetle’s tail and produce a bright but cold light. Most species use their tails to attract mates. In most species, both male and female beetles glow. Firefly eggs glow as well. Most fireflies have a specific flash pattern to attract a mate. Each species has a specific and unique pattern. Usually, each beetle flashes individually, so it looks as if the flashes are random. However, there is one species of firefly in North America called synchronous fireflies. They are unique because every firefly in the area will flash at exactly the same time. For two weeks at the end of May and beginning of June, visitors can travel to the Great Smoky Mountains to see this incredible light display. There are 18 other species of fireflies in the park, but only one lights up simultaneously. • Fireflys are carnivorous. • The pesticides used in gardens, • They love warm, humid areas homes and farms can kill near water. fireflies. • They are most active at dusk. • They use their flashes to find • There are thousands of firefly mates.

Performances to be held at This spring, NASA is launching a new mission to study the Singers Dancers & Musiciansinside of Mars. It’s called Mars InSight. InSight — short for Interior Explorationusing Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport — is a lander.

Instead, InSight will land, place instruments on the trophies &ground nearby and begin collecting information. scholarships Categories: Just like a doctor uses instruments to understand what’s going on inside yourbody, InSight will use three science instruments to figure out what’s going on Pre-school - 2nd Grade 3rd - 5th Gradeinside Mars. 6th-8th Grade* 9th-12th Grade* One of these instruments is called a seismometer. On Earth, scientists useseismometers to study the vibrations that happen during earthquakes. InSight’s Special thanks to:seismometer will measure the vibrations of earthquakes on Mars — known asmarsquakes. We know that on Earth, different materials vibrate in differentways. By studying the vibrations from marsquakes, scientists hope to figure outwhat materials are found inside Mars. InSight will also carry a heat probe that will take the temperature on Mars.The heat probe will dig almost 16 feet below Mars’ surface. After it burrowsinto the ground, the heat probe will measure the heat coming from the interiorof Mars. These measurements can also help us understand where Mars’ heatcomes from in the first place. This information will help scientists figure out howMars formed and if it’s made from the same stuff as Earth and the Moon. Scientists know that the very center of Mars, called the core, is made of iron.But what else is in there? InSight has an instrument called the Rotation andInterior Structure Experiment, or RISE, that will hopefully help us to find out. Although the InSight lander stays in one spot on Mars, Mars wobbles aroundas it orbits the sun. RISE will keep track of InSight’s location so that scientistswill have a way to measure these wobbles. This information will help determinewhat materials are in Mars’ core and whether the core is liquid or solid. InSight will collect tons of information about what Mars is like under thesurface. One day, these new details from InSight will help us understand moreabout how planets like Mars — and our home, Earth — came to be.

“Isle of Dogs” is a genius concept that only of pace from the stories he usually Wes Anderson could conjure up and makes tells. “Isle of Dogs” is an homage for an enjoyable animated film with a quirky to Japanese filmmaking, especially aesthetic. the films of Akira Kurosawa, and relies on Japanese language and “Isle of Dogs” takes place 20 years from culture to tell its story. now in a futuristic Japan. A disease spreading among dogs ravages Megasaki City, and the My favorite character is mayor issues a decree that banishes all dogs Chief (Bryan Cranston). He is to a vast, sickening wasteland called Trash a stray dog who goes through Island. The film focuses on a pack of dogs a moving transformation as he that spend their days roaming, trying to stay starts off dreading the idea of alive among fierce competition. A young boy having a master. But through his named Atari crashes onto the island one day adventure with Atari, Chief starts in search of his dog, and the pack decides to to learn what it is to care about help him. people and open himself up to them. Cranston gives Chief a Wes Anderson’s direction is excellent. He weariness that lets you know his thrives in stop-motion animation because character has been through a lot. he can meticulously craft each shot. His sometimes bizarre, yet charming style I recommend this film for ages remains resonant, despite it being a change 11 to 18, due to some violence involving dogs, some suggestive content and minor offensive language. Note that, despite animation and dogs as main characters, this is not a kids’ film. It’s really geared toward pre- teens to adults. I give Isle of Dogs 4 out of 5 stars. I recommend this film for Wes Anderson fans and those who like a good adventure featuring man’s best friend. Although this film misses the chance to develop really interesting ideas and characters, it is still fun and hilarious in all the right ways.22 www.kidsvillenews.com/cumberland JUNE 2018
