Name Fluency<br />
As I read, I will pay attention to punctuation.<br />
Nature is amazingly complex. Every day many different<br />
8 things happen in nature. Look around and observe. What do<br />
18 you see happening?<br />
21 Living things grow and die as the seasons change. Even the<br />
32 quietest place is not vacant. Insects fill the air. Animals search<br />
43 for food and build their homes. Fish and frogs splash in the<br />
55 water. And nature is so diverse, too. There are millions of kinds<br />
67 of plants and animals to study.<br />
73 But learning from nature takes time and patience. And that’s<br />
83 especially true of animals.<br />
87 You can’t just press a button on a hawk and have it tell you<br />
101 how fast it can fly. And chimps don’t wear signs telling you<br />
113 how they take care of their young. To learn these things, you<br />
125 have to observe the animals.<br />
130 The people you’ll read about here each observed animals in<br />
140 a different way. And each gave the world something through<br />
150 their observations. Some helped us make sense of the natural<br />
160 world. Others helped us see the importance of protecting it. 170<br />
