The earliest traces of paper-folding come from Japan. Origami only uses a small number of different folds, but they can be combined in a variety of ways to make intricate designs. The most well known form is probably the Japanese paper crane.<span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_crane" title="Paper crane" class="mw-redirect"><br /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghI0vUUtTz34bZAyAg-6M4VqwS-Fupq2DSOwVbcQ38MkMJBzRRmeexdf8Z0kkD7bKQWMtqsCfIY-0nS-LGt6ywH1ohE4YjvMZjBtQsCTqdIJo5cQ0WzAu49IEJtPLdRcasmKmjazSQZzl0/s1600-h/origami.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

There are different kinds of gums.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Gum Arabic:</span><br /> This gum is used in making candy, medicines, and mucilage, and in the manufacture of silks. It is extracted from the plant as a thick, sticky liquid, which hardens when exposed to air and dissolves in water. Gum Arabic is produced by several varieties of acacia trees, which is found in Africa, Australia, and Asia. They are sold in the form of yellow or reddish lumps.

The text covers ancient Egyptian food and housing, games and toys, farming, medicine, clothing and jewelry, as well as gods, pharaohs, hieroglyphs, pyramids, temples, and mummies. Engaging projects that use easily obtainable materials and require little adult supervision build on what is taught in each section and include building a shaduf, making a 1:1,000 scale model of the Great Pyramid, cooking flatbread, recreating papyrus, mixing perfume, designing a cartouche using hieroglyphs, and making sandals in the style worn by King Tut.<br /></div><br /><b>School Arts Magazine</b><br /><br /><span>This truly fascinating book makes connections to history, math, and <span>science</span> while focusing mainly on the art and culture of ancient Egypt.</span><br /><br /><b>Children's Literature</b><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">There is a wealth of interesting information and clever hands-on projects in this slim book. There is a good timeline of pharaonic history, but most of the text concerns daily life—building boats of papyrus and houses of mud bricks, using the waters of the Nile in ingenious ways to irrigate fertile farmland, making jewelry and make-up, and playing games. For each chapter, there is at least one activity—making a papyrus boat with drinking straws, plastic beads for an Egyptian necklace or amulets, and board games. Many of the projects could help teachers fulfill curriculum objectives without anyone having to fill in spaces on a worksheet, but the activities should definitely be tried ahead of time. Many will take longer than the 20—30 minutes suggested in the text, and some of the ingredients will be unfamiliar. A recipe for date candy, for example, calls for cardamom seeds, which are actually large pods and need to be ground for use in most food. The sepia-colored printing and the variety of fonts is often distracting and unappealing, but these are minor problems in an otherwise interesting presentation of an overdone subject. The glossary, index, and additional resources are thorough.<br /></div><br />Download link<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;font-family:arial;" >http://rapidshare.com/files/165667627/Great_Ancient_Egypt_Projects__JinoL_DownArchive.zip</span><br /><br />note:<br />download the above zip file and unzip using winzip or winrar program and use any PDF reader software like adobe to view the file.gkrishnanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12502834855739514823noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2422427604207127361.post-27018768300315028162008-11-26T09:48:00.006+05:302008-11-26T10:23:00.478+05:30Stinking Corpse Lily<a href="http://results.myhpf.co.uk/framedresults.asp?Keyword=blogspot.com"><br />Rafflesia arnoldii</a> was discovered in the Indonesian Rain Forest by an Indonesian guide, working for Joseph Arnold in 1818, thus, deriving it's name from<span style="font-style: italic;"> Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles</span>, the leader of the expedition.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFg2O8wZPeVJunD-JLSsf9rYvkeQD5YxHYcrDQgRghqr2BFM8UKcdS2WzPnlS04TnzO5bAOp2fsEfruIyLAay2gq61TEWrZT_tNpF5q12Su__Bws_cLWa5EZW05UszqEFAwhQ5Os-BbFyF/s1600-h/raffelsia.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFg2O8wZPeVJunD-JLSsf9rYvkeQD5YxHYcrDQgRghqr2BFM8UKcdS2WzPnlS04TnzO5bAOp2fsEfruIyLAay2gq61TEWrZT_tNpF5q12Su__Bws_cLWa5EZW05UszqEFAwhQ5Os-BbFyF/s400/raffelsia.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272817629046254418" border="0" /></a><br />The flower of Rafflesia or Corpse Lily is the largest and smelliest flower in the flower.

Mr. Sun Yat Sen, the founder of Chinese Republic, first proposed the project in 1919. The primary aims of the dam are to alleviate flooding on the Yangtze River and generate power. It was hailed as one of the engineering feats of the 20th century. The dam is located in the areas of Xilingxia gorge, one of the three gorges of the river, which will control a drainage area of 1 million km square, with an average annual runoff of 451 billion m<sup>3</sup>. The project was begun in 1993 at an official cost of 200bn Yuan ($25bn), though unofficial estimates are far higher. It reached its final height of 185m (607 feet).
