Hong Kong Lesson Plan
History
On this day in 1941, Japan invaded Hong Kong.
Hong Kong is not an independent country, but a territory. In 1898, after a war between Britain and China, the two countries signed an agreement that gave Britain control of Hong Kong for 99 years. In 1997, it was returned to China. However, unlike socialist China, Hong Kong has a market economy, one of the world's most prosperous.

Hong Kong
Many people think of Hong Kong as an island. Hong Kong is actually made up of many islands - 236 islands plus a chunk of mainland bordering the province of Guangdong. Hong Kong Island is one of the largest and most important of the islands; peninsular Kowloon is an urban center on the mainland, and the New Territories is a more suburban and rural area on the mainland.
CLIMATE: Hong Kong has a temperate climate moderated by the Pacific Ocean; it is usually warm during the day (60s to 70s) and cooler during the evening. In the summer it rarely drops below 80° with highs near 90°. Rain is quite common during the Fall, Spring, and Summer semesters.
CURRENCY: The Hong Kong dollar (HKD) is made up of 100 cents.
LANGUAGE: Official languages are Chinese (Cantonese) and English. Cantonese is the primary language, although Mandarin (Putonghua) is heard more and more. English is spoken in all the main tourist areas, hotels and restaurants.

The Wright brothers used many calculations to create
their flying machine. The following formulas are
examples of some calculations commonly performed
by flight personnel today.
distance = rate x time
or
d = r t
This formula is used to find the distance a plane will
fly on a trip. It can also be used to find the speed of the
plane when the distance and time are given, or to find
the time when the distance and speed are given.
A plane travels at 375 knots (nautical miles per hour)
for 5 hours. How many nautical miles will the plane
travel?

History of the Nutcracker
Although Nutcrackers are a popular holiday item, the history of wooden nutcrackers is somewhat of a mystery. Stories about enchanted nutcrackers appear in folk-tales of Bohemia and Poland, but it seems that the carved object originated in the Saxony region of Germany about 250 years ago. At that time, the coal mines were depleted (or emptied) and the miners had to find other ways to make a living. Carving household objects out of wood became the regional specialty. The first noted nutcracker in the form we know today was the 1750 product of Erzgebirge, Germany.
It has been said that Nutcrackers as a holiday tradition is based on the fact that gilded nuts were a popular tree decoration and that something equally decorative was needed to open the nut to enjoy their contents. Legend has that a wealthy farmer sponsored a contest for the best product to crack open his crop of nuts. The winner, a puppeteer, was awarded a workshop for future generations to continue producing these nutcrackers.
Of course Tchaikovsky’s ballet has also had an influence on the popularity of nutcrackers.
