Elephants Can Paint, Too!
This video segment from Between the Lions is based on an edited version of the published book “Elephants Can Paint Too!” The clip compares the art done by elephants with art done by real kids in Thailand.

11.1 Reading Read the extracts provided in Author(s): 1.9 The rock cycle As you are reading this, rocks are being formed and destroyed on the Earth. Rocks are being heated and squeezed to form new metamorphic rocks; other rocks are melting to form magmas, which eventually cool and solidify as new igneous rocks; and the processes of weathering, erosion, transport and deposition are generating new sediments. The continuous action of rock-forming processes means that (given time) any rock in the Earth's crust will become transformed into new types of rock and that th Mighty Bikers from Concordia raise funds for children's hospital 2.7 Overcoming problems A few issues regularly crop up as important in discussions with research students towards the end of their projects, when they reflect back on their research. Students often bring up these issues after a preliminary phrase like ‘If only I had done this in the first few months’ or ‘If only I had stopped doing so much on that sooner’. The following is not a comprehensive list of tips, just a guide to a few of the more typical ones.
