The other day during silent sustained reading time I had to grab a book in the classroom. The book I took was called, "That's a Fact, Jack" During silent reading time I thumbed through the majority of the book a learned many different things. Over the next month of school I will post different facts that I learned while reading this interesting book. (I will share a few today to get you started)
Fact #1 (Some of you have heard)
The average lifespan of an NHL hockey puck is 7 minutes. The ones that don't fly into the stands are removed because they warm up from friction and bounce on the ice. Game pucks are chilled to -10 degrees F. for max performance and are kept in a freezer in the penalty box.
Fact #2 (Listen up guys!)
On average women say 7,000 words a day; men just over 2,000.
Fact #3 (Especially for you Val)
Ulcers are not caused by spicy foods or stress. A spiral-shaped bacterium called Helicobacter pylori, thrives in the stomach's acid environment and causes nearly all peptic ulcers.
Have fun reading - post more soon.
