Ready! Soft and wrinkled, the brain is protected by the skull. Tirelessly, even during sleep, it keeps the lungs working, the memory functioning, and allows us to smell odors... thanks to the network of neurons. Connected to each other, to muscles, and to organs throughout the body, they process and transmit information by passing through the spinal cord. How? Through an electrical signal!

Irreplaceable, the brain is our greatest asset! Without it, we couldn't do anything, learn anything... So, are you ready to learn everything about how it works?

It's the body's frame, it's the one allowing humans to stand, for example. Over time, the skeleton evolved with the brain to meet its needs. Therefore, humans and monkeys are the only ones owing a thumb that allows them to catch stuff and use tools! And how does the skeleton move? Thanks to the joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles!

Where comes rainwater from? From clouds of course! But, where goes rainwater? It runs down, or seeps into the ground, or forms puddles and pools. By passing by, it waters the plants; it keeps running down. The stream goes to the rivers, which go to the sea. And why doesn't the sea overflow? Because part of its water evaporates. The puddles too evaporate, and the plants sweat. All the water that evaporates goes to the sky, and the clouds get bigger... The water cycle goes again!

When we picture them, we see endless sand dunes and overwhelming heat. However, the time when we thought of deserts as… deserted is long gone!

In reality, they are abundantly populated, with plants and animals helping each other survive the harsh, arid conditions.

When it finally rains, succulents and cacti fill their leaves and stems, the acacia draws moisture through its roots, and the giant saguaro acts like an accordion, soaking up water. Slurp!
