17. Myths Attempt to Explain Natural Events
Think back to our discussion on last week. The Greeks invented stories to describe and explain the world around them. They tried to answer questions like:
Why does the sun move across the sky?
Why does the moon seem to change shape?
What causes the ocean to be calm one day and rage the next?
Brief Clip

18. A Walk on the Beach
One summer night, Joe came home for summer vacation to visit his family. To celebrate, his family had a nighttime barbeque and bonfire on the beach. While he was walking along the beach at night, he noticed something odd… the sand was sparkling! Every time he took a step, bright green sparks would shoot from his footsteps. How could Joe find out what caused this?

19. It turns out that the glowing sand is a type of phytoplankton
It turns out that the glowing sand is a type of phytoplankton. Phytoplankton are microscopic animals. However, when they are disturbed, they spark their light. They flash mostly in the summer after the sun charges up their light. Take a trip to the beach one night in the summer and see for yourself!
