CANS, CLOUDS AND A HAIRBREADTH- YOU THINK YOU KNOW?




As your knowledge grows so do you. (Brenda A. Ysaguirre)




Dear Students and Readers,


There is always space for us to learn more. As I prepare this blog each time I am learning, too and that is something that we must all be thankful for. Knowledge is our guide to a better life and it is the foundation on which we build better futures for ourselves and those who share our lives.


Love always,


Ms B








How wide is a hairbreadth?
A "hairbreadth away" is 1/48 of an inch.





How much aluminum is recycled in can form?
Nearly 65 percent of America's aluminum cans are recycled. Aluminum is one of the simplest materials to recycle.





Who came up with our current cloud nomenclature?
The system used today of naming clouds according to their shape and height was devised in 1803 by a London druggist and amateur weather-watcher, Luke Howard.








HAVE A GREAT DAY!


With Much Respect,


Brenda A. Ysaguirre
