Now have a parent try. Who was fastest? R T E AW At right is the flag of South Korea. Unscramble the words to find out what each symbol on the flag represents. People around the world are now following the excitement of the 2018 Winter Olympic Games in PyeongChang, South Korea. This symbol is known as yin and yang. Yin and yang mean literally the “dark side” and the “sunny side” of a hill. The symbol means that everything in the world has its opposite. RFEI H TA R E What time is it in PyeongChang?

Now have a friend try. Who found the most? To get more spins, a skater needs to twirl as fast as possible. To increase their twirling speed, a skater starts a twirl with arms out wide. Keeping the body straight and bringing the arms in close to the body causes a skater to twirl faster. This is a scientific principle called the conservation of angular momentum. In order to twirl well, a skater needs velocity, or speed. A skater uses his or her feet to push off the ice to accelerate. Once the right velocity is reached the skater will jump and twirl. The more velocity a skater gets for the jump, the higher he or she will go. Connect the dots to find the machine that cleans the ice. 12 10 8 7 14 13 5 4 23 2 3 22 21 1 20 Hold That Pose!
