Juggling is the perfect skill for showing off. With
just a little focus, practice and rhythm, you can
be the life of any party.
3
SAFETY FIRST!
First things first: the
primary rule of juggling is
safety. So don’t even THINK
about juggling flaming
torches! Learn to juggle
with small beanbags or balls.
With the right objects, and
the right technique, you’ll be
ready to toss and twirl in no
time at all – and look mighty
cool doing it.
Now try tossing two balls at
once. As the first ball is coming
down, throw the second ball
and catch both.
4
5
6
Now add a third ball, so you
are holding three balls in total.
Your dominant hand should be
holding two.
1
Grab a small ball or beanbag.
Throw it from hand to hand in
an arc. Toss it so that it’s level
with your eyes.
Handy to know!
One of your hands is called
the dominant hand because
it does most of the throwing
and catching. It’s usually the
hand you write with.
Throw the first two balls just as
before, holding the third ball in
your dominant hand.
Add a third throw just when
the second ball is at its peak
and keep throwing the balls
in a continuous loop.
whY not?
Substitute one of
the balls for an apple.
During the juggle, try
to take a bite from
the apple!
2
Throw the ball from one hand
to the other without reaching
out to grab the ball. Practise
until you’ve got a good rhythm.

jump called the Ollie. It was invented by
Alan ‘Ollie’ Gelfand in 1977.
You need game

sums In 1609, maths
whizz Johannes Kepler struck
gold. He was in charge of
the top observatory of the
day in Prague,
now in the Czech Republic.
He number-crunched his
way through
stacks of Tycho Brahe’s astronomi
cal data and figured out
how the
planets move in space. His
two laws of planetary motion
showed
that the planets follow elliptical
(oval-shaped) orbits around
the Sun. This matched Tycho’s
own observations.
POLISH SUN KING:
NICOLAUS
COPERNICUS
Moving the Earth Copernicus (1473-1543) formulated a
new model of the Solar System... He said that our planet is spinning, that
the Moon orbits Earth, that Earth orbits the Sun, that the Sun’s at the
centre of the Solar System, and that a tilted orbit causes Earth’s seasons.
He was really worried his ideas would cause trouble, so he waited until
1543 (when he was on his deathbed) before putting them in a book.

Eocursor is a small, two-legged
omnivore. Its leaf-shaped teeth
are similar to those of a living
iguana, adapted to feed on both
plants and insects. Its shinbone
is longer than its thighbone,

Venture into the forest to hear the cry of the Werewolf

Grindylow with its long, slimy fingers lies in wait to
drag you beneath the water. Look up to the skies to
glimpse the reptilian winged Wyvern, scanning the
ground for prey. Follow the twisting path up the
mountain, where trolls roam and dragons lurk in their
labyrinthine caves, past the misty graveyard, until you reach
the castle where vampires and gargoyles dwell. Climb the
crumbling staircase until you reach the top and can view the
distant ocean where lies the island guarded by the metal giant Talos. Follow
in the wake of the ghost ship over the sea to visit the dry desert where
the fearsome Basilisk hunts and the Egyptian mummy lies
waiting to rise from the dead.

Coastal Seas
he coastal seas are the richest areas of the ocean. They teem
with sea life and are very popular for fishing and trawling.
Most of the fish and shellfish we eat are caught in these
shallow waters, which are down to 200 ft (60 m) deep. They spread
out over the outer parts of continents and larger islands. Coastal
sea water is alive with plankton, tiny drifting plants and animals.
When blue and yellow light waves bounce back off this plankton,
it makes the water look very green. Fast-swimming fish, such as
yellowtails, bluefish, striped bass and some types of tuna, feed off
smaller mackerels, sardines and herrings close to the coasts.
Humpback whales give birth in warm coastal seas, then

olphins learn about their environment,
navigate and find prey by using a
technique called echolocation. A dolphin
searching for food will send out long- and
short-range sound signals or clicks. The
returning echoes tell the dolphin where
prey can be found. As the dolphin closes
in on the prey, it uses much shorter
clicks to gain more detailed
information about its target.
