Hibernation, which is like a deep sleep, allows certain animals to save their energy when there is little or no food available in cold weather. The body functions of true hibernators go through several changes while they are hibernating. Body temperature drops, and the heart rate slows. Other animals, such as the raccoon, are not considered true hibernators, as they wake up in the winter to feed, and their body functions do not change as much. The largest animals to hibernate are bears. Their heart rate may slow down, but their body temperature changes very little, so they are able to wake up quickly. Hibernating animals have a special substance in the blood called HIT that becomes active in the fall, when the days become cooler and shorter. When HIT becomes active, the animals start preparing for winter. Some animals store food so that they can eat when they wake up, and some animals eat a lot in late summer and fall to add excess fat to their bodies. This fat keeps them warmer and acts as a source of energy while they are sleeping.
James is a high school student who cares a lot about the environment. Last year he felt that he wanted to do something to help the environment. So many people drive cars in Los Angles and he often saw smog, a type of pollution, in the air. He tried to convince his parents that they should buy a hybrid car, which uses less gasoline. His family could not afford a new car, but they all decided that they should drive their car less. They agreed not to use the car on weekends, and use public transportation, walk, or bike instead.
James still wanted to do more. He read about environmental issues and decided to write a letter to the editor of his town newspaper. He asked if his city could use solar or wind power to produce electricity. The newspaper published his letter. A reporter also interviewed him about the work he had done to help the environment.
James gave a presentation to his class at school. He told them about the things they could do every day to improve the environment. Some of James’s classmates suggested starting a recycling program at school and he helped them. James and his classmates raised enough money to help their school install solar panels and use solar energy.
