Politics
Fun Fact!
Greenland is the world's largest island but has only about 56,000 people living there - that's fewer people than in many small towns! Most of Greenland is covered in ice that's up to 3 kilometers thick, which is taller than 10 Empire State Buildings stacked on top of each other!

Space
Fun Fact!
Astronauts on the International Space Station see 16 sunrises and 16 sunsets every single day because they orbit Earth once every 90 minutes! That means they experience day and night about every 45 minutes as they zoom around our planet at 28,000 kilometers per hour!

Technology
Fun Fact!
The first computer bug was actually a real bug! In 1947, scientists found a moth stuck inside a computer at Harvard University, and they taped it into their logbook with the note "First actual case of bug being found." That's why we still call computer problems "bugs" today!

Amazing Fun Facts You Won't Believe!
Here are some incredible facts about the topics we covered that will blow your mind!
Greenland's Ice Sheet
If all of Greenland's ice melted, the world's oceans would rise by about 7 meters - that's as tall as a two-story house! The ice sheet is so heavy that it actually pushes the land underneath it down into the Earth.
Ancient Persia
Iran was once called Persia and is home to one of the world's oldest civilizations, dating back over 7,000 years! The country invented ice cream, backgammon, and even the first system of human rights written on a clay cylinder.
UK Parliament History
The UK Parliament is over 700 years old and meets in a building called the Palace of Westminster. There are secret tunnels underneath it, and the building has over 1,000 rooms, 100 staircases, and 3 miles of corridors!
Your Amazing Intestines
If you stretched out all of your intestines in a straight line, they would be about 7-8 meters long - longer than a giraffe is tall! They're all squished up inside you to fit, and they work day and night digesting your food.
Space Station Speed
The International Space Station travels at 28,000 kilometers per hour! That means it could travel from London to New York in less than 13 minutes. Astronauts see 16 sunrises and sunsets every day because they circle Earth so fast.
Football Records
The fastest goal ever scored in football history was just 2 seconds after kickoff! The record for most goals scored in a single match is 149-0, which happened in Madagascar when one team scored own goals on purpose to protest a referee's decision.
Science Everywhere
You use science every single day without even knowing it! When you ride a bike, you're using physics. When you bake a cake, you're doing chemistry. Even when you play music, you're exploring the science of sound waves!
Clothing Materials
Some ancient Egyptians wore clothes made from linen that was so fine and light, it was almost see-through! Meanwhile, astronauts' spacesuits are made of 14 different layers of material and cost about $12 million each to make!
AI Learning Speed
Some AI systems can read and learn from millions of books in just hours - something that would take a human thousands of years! But AI still can't understand jokes, emotions, or creativity the way humans can.
Internet Size
If you tried to download the entire internet onto DVDs, you would need about 200 billion DVDs stacked in a tower reaching to the moon and back three times! The internet grows by about 2.5 quintillion bytes of data every single day.
