GW. Read to the passages and fill in the 3rd column of the KWL chart.

1. Lions roar loudly when they want to tell other animals about danger. The message is, “Run away. It is dangerous here.”

2. A whale can hear another whale’s song from
a distance of fifty kilometers. The message is,
“I am over here.”

3. Have you ever seen how flowers “talk”? No! Of course, flowers can’t talk in the way we understand “their talking”. But they can send out messages. How? Some flowers have bright colours. These colours are the messages, because they tell bees, “Please, come and visit me!”

4. Have you ever seen how bees “talk”? Try to follow a bee when you see one. You will see that other bees also fly in the same direction. Bees “tell” each other by signals like “dancing” where the best flowers are. They send the message at what distance the food is and what kind of food it is. So, the message is, “Come this way. There is a very good place here.”

5. Dolphins make sounds for other dolphins. They can hear these sounds very far away, but people can’t hear them.
