Los estudiantes de una escuela primaria enumeraron lo que pensaban eran las siete maravillas del mundo moderno, incluyendo las pirámides de Egipto, el Taj Mahal y la Gran Muralla China. Una niña no pudo decidir su lista completamente debido a que hay muchas maravillas. Cuando compartió su lista, enumeró los sentidos humanos como las verdaderas maravillas, recordando que las cosas más preciadas de la vida no pueden comprarse con dinero.
El documento describe la historia de la clasificación de los seres vivos. Explica que los primeros sistemas de clasificación fueron desarrollados por Aristóteles y Teofrasto, pero que el sistema moderno fue establecido por Carlos Linneo en el siglo 18, incluyendo la asignación de nombres binomiales a cada especie usando el latín. El sistema de Linneo con nombres binomiales es ampliamente aceptado hoy en día porque provee una forma estandarizada y precisa de nombrar organismos en todo el mundo.

Tree-dwelling animals like koalas were able to survive if trees remained standing. In the aftermath, animals must find new food sources and migration routes as the landscape changes, increasing predation for some. Marine species are also affected by changes in water quality after floods. The AG Society is fundraising to track whale sharks and protect seagrass beds impacted by flood runoff.
