Why Tall Buildings Do Not Fall Over

A tall building needs a wide, deep base. The base is called a foundation. It spreads the weight into the ground. Wind pushes hard on a tall building. Inside, a strong core of concrete runs from the bottom to the top like a spine. The core stops the building bending too far. The tallest buildings sway a little in strong wind. That is meant to happen. A building that could not bend at all would crack.

  1. 1. What do the tallest buildings do in strong wind?
  2. 2. What would a diagram for this text need to label?
  3. 3. What runs from the bottom to the top inside a tall building?
2.Read the text, then answer the questions.

From Flower to Jar

A honeybee visits about a hundred flowers on one trip. She sucks up nectar and stores it in a special stomach. Back at the hive, she passes the nectar to another bee. That bee chews it for about half an hour. Then it goes into a wax cell. The bees fan the cell with their wings. The water dries out and the nectar thickens into honey. Then the cell is sealed with wax.

  1. 1. Where does the bee store the nectar on the way home?
  2. 2. What do the bees use to seal the cell?
  3. 3. What would a diagram for this text need to show?
