6.10.A Summarize The Main Ideas And Supporting Details In A Text

Luke Pearce and Dr. David Hunter discovered a colony of yellow-spotted bell frogs. A few of the frogs were taken to the Taronga Zoo for breeding. Once the frog population has been replenished, groups of the yellow-spotted bell frogs will be released in different locations in the wild.

Originally thought to be extinct, a yellow-spotted bell frog was seen by Luke Pearce. A year later Pearce and Dr. David Hunter, an expert on threatened species, discovered a small colony of the frogs. This species’ population was drastically reduced to near extinction by a harmful fungus.

While walking along a stream, Luke Pearce noticed a frog that was thought to be extinct. He contacted Dr. David Hunter, an expert on threatened species. The two men returned to the site and discovered a small colony of yellow-spotted bell frogs. Efforts are now being made to save the species from extinction.

Luke Pearce was searching for a fish in a stream in New South Wales when he saw an unusual frog. He called Dr. David Hunter, an expert on threatened species. After Pearce took Hunter to the location where he first saw the frog, Hunter confirmed that it was from a colony of yellow-spotted bell frogs.

Conditions where the frogs were typically found became less dangerous.

Less human contact reduced the risk to the species.

Other species thought to be extinct had been found.

The decrease in predators made it likely that some frogs survived.

had seen the species before a fungus attacked them

natural events in Antarctica make it possible for meteorites to be noticed easily

a robot can easily travel on the ice-covered land in Antarctica

the weather conditions in Antarctica keep people from visiting the area

meteorites land in Antarctica more often than in other areas

Meteorites are important to NASA because they hold clues about planets and the origin of the solar system. Seven scientists journeyed to the Antarctic Plateau to find meteorites for NASA. They experienced freezing temperatures and set up tents immediately.

A group of scientists went to Antarctica as part of a project for NASA. The scientists worked to reassemble Nomad, an advanced robot, after it had been flown in by helicopter from the coast. With the robot’s help, the scientists searched for and identified several meteorites on the ice fields.

Several scientists in Antarctica used a robot named Nomad. The scientists got the robot to start searching for meteorites in the ice fields. Antarctica was different from Pennsylvania, where Nomad was first tested, and changes needed to be made to the robot’s software and sensors.

A robot named Nomad traveled long distances over rough and slippery ground in Antarctica. Nomad had already been used to explore a South American desert. Heaters were added to keep the robot’s equipment warm, and studs were added to its tires so that it could move on ice without slipping.

People used its outer rock to build other structures.

The natural elements started wearing down its outer layers.

Water started collecting inside its walls.

It started sinking into the desert sand.

People have always tried to construct the tallest buildings possible. Modern skyscrapers are usually constructed with steel and glass and have elevators. Today the tallest building in the world is many times higher than the first skyscraper.

Tall buildings have always interested people but have not always been easy to construct. Throughout the years new developments have allowed people to build skyscrapers. Today tall buildings are common in cities around the world.

Though people have always shown an interest in constructing tall buildings, the height of such structures was relatively limited for many years. The use of steel and elevators helped make taller buildings possible.

Throughout history people have always tried to construct tall buildings. People were eventually able to build skyscrapers as a result of several inventions. There is some debate about which building is the first example of a skyscraper.

In the late 1800s three developments made building skyscrapers possible.

In addition, the invention of the elevator allowed people to go up and down tall buildings more easily.

The use of steel in construction and the adoption of new construction designs made buildings stronger.

New Yorkers were very pleased with these advances.

The National Park Service wanted to open an airfield to the public.

A veteran thought of a practical use for a historic airfield.

Citizens of New York City wanted to honor their airfield’s military past.

Pilots who flew during World War II needed a place to restore old planes.

HARP was founded in order to restore aircraft and an old airfield where the rebuilt aircraft could be displayed. The aircraft were restored by volunteers, many of whom were retired military pilots or aircraft engineers. They spent thousands of hours making planes such as the PBY Catalina like new. Students go each week to view the aircraft and learn about the history of aviation from the volunteers of HARP.

Floyd Bennett Field was an airfield from which notable pilots and military aircraft flew important missions. The airfield was closed in the early 1970s, but in 1996, Arnie Migliaccio proposed an idea to the National Park Service to make the neglected airfield a place to display restored aircraft. The project became known as HARP, and volunteers known as “angels” work to help meet the project’s goals. Today visitors to Hangar B learn about the history of the airfield and planes.

In 1996 a veteran named Arnie Migliaccio proposed an idea to the National Park Service to make Floyd Bennett Field a place to view restored airplanes. The HARP volunteers began working to repurpose the site and several aircraft from the World War II era. Today the restored planes no longer fly, but the HARP volunteers work to ensure that the planes will remain in good condition for many years.

Floyd Bennett Field was opened in 1931 and became a busy airport over the years. Famous pilots used the airfield, and military planes used it during times of war to fly important missions. After it was closed in the early 1970s, the airfield became run-down. But in 1996, veteran Arnie Migliaccio proposed to the National Park Service that the airfield be used as a place to restore and display planes.
