Learning Management System (LMS) bukanlah hal yang baru dalam pembelajaran. Dimulai dari penerapan pada dunia kampus, saat ini LMS sudah mulai merambah ke tingkat sekolah dibawahnya seperti SMA, atau SMP. Salah satu LMS yang populer adalah Schoology. Schoology memungkinkan kita dalam membuat kelas mapel, kelompok belajar maupun sumber belajar. Selain itu tersedianya fitur attendance/absensi, untuk memeriksa kehadiran peserta didik dengan pilihan “hadir”, “izin”, ,”terlambat”, ataupun “tidak masuk”. Setiap aktifitas siswa juga akan terpantau melalui fasilitas Analytic pada setiap course, assignment, discussion dan aktivitas lain yang kita siapkan untuk peserta didik.

Pada tulisan lalu, pernah saya ulas tentang cara membuat tes dengan schoology, lebih jelasnya, baca artikel berikut ya,, Mudahnya Membuat Kuis dengan Schoology. Pada tulisan kali ini, saya akan melanjutkan tulisan tersebut, akan tetapi saya akan mengulas bagaimana mengimport file soal format Blackboard ke Schoology.  

Dalam membuat kuis melalui Schoology, ada dua cara yang bisa dilakukan, seperti cara yang manual atau biasa yaitu dengan memasukkan soal satu persatu disertai dengan jawaban (misal bila multiple choice test, disertai dengan opsi jawaban) dalam format yang tersedia. Tidak akan saya ulas dalam tulisan ini, lebih jelasnya, baca artikel saya melalui link diatas.

Cara yang selanjutnya adalah dengan bantuan Quiz Generator. Dalam hal ini saya memanfaatkan fitur dari Blackboard Quiz Generator. Cara ini lebih mempermudah dan mempercepat kita dalam menginput soal, misalnya saja saat kita memiliki database soal dalam Microsoft Word, tinggal kita sesuaikan saja dalam tahapan prosesnya. Adapun yang mesti kita persiapkan pertama- tama adalah soal- soal yang akan kita inputkan.

Langkah- langkah :

Bagian I

#1. Buka file soal yang nantinya akan kita masukkan, bisa dalam format Word. Pilih item soal yang akan di copy dan kemudian klik kanan> Copy.

#2. Buka Blackboard Quiz Generator melalui link halaman berikut;

https://ed.oc.edu/blackboardquizgenerator/. 

Note : Anda juga bisa memanfaatkan Blackboard Quiz Generator melalui situs lainnya. Gunakan mesin pencarian Google dan ketikkan Blackboard Quiz Generator di dalamnya. 

#3. Copy Pastekan File  tulisan yang sudah anda copy (Langkah #1) ke dalam halaman Blackboard Quiz Generator pada halaman tadi (Langkah #2). Sampai disini ada beberapa aturan format yang mesti dipenuhi, 

• Nomor 1 pada gambar, berilah tanda asterix (*) didepan pilihan jawaban yang benar.
• Nomor 2 pada gambar, berilah jarak  antara nomor satu dan dua (enter satu kali)

#4. Bila sudah benar formatnya, klik generate test questions, Anda akan melihat background hijau bila format yang anda masukkan benar.

Atau, 

Background merah seperti pada gambar bila ada format yang salah saat masukkan teks. 

#5. Saat sudah benar formatnya, silahkan pilih Download Questions Pool pada bagian bawah, soal yang anda masukkan tadi akan di simpan dalam format ZIP.

Bagian II

#1. Buka akun Schoology Anda,

#2. Pilih menu Courses, lalu select My Courses dan klik Create Course pada bagian kanan layar anda.

#3. Berikan nama Course anda, dan isikan juga data yang lainnya lalu klik Create

#4. Buat Quiz anda, Klik Add Materials, pilih Add Test/ Quiz

#5. Isikan data yang tersedia, lalu klik Create

#6. Setelah berhasil membuat Test/ Quiz, maka pada menu Add Question, pilih Import Test/ Quiz

#7. Pilih Blackboard 7.1 - 9.0 lalu klik next

#8. Upload File yang akan diimport (hasil dari langkah #5 Bagian I)

#9. Bila berhasil, anda akan melihat tampilan seperti pada gambar dibawah ini.

Anda bisa mencoba melihat kuis yang anda import melalui halaman preview.

Nah, demikian cara import soal ke Schoology dengan format Blackboard. Sekali lagi, sistem ini memudahkan kita mengimpor soal khususnya soal yang sudah pernah kita buat dalam format lain seperti format Docs. Plus tanpa kita masukkan satu persatu secara manual.

Semoga bermanfaat.. Jangan lupa share pengalaman anda dengan Schoology melalui kolom komentar yaa...

Text for number 1 to 3
Bipolar disorder, also known as manic-depressive illness, is a brain disorder that causes unusual shifts in mood, energy, activity levels, and the ability to carry out day-to-day tasks.
There are four basic types of bipolar disorder; all of them involve clear changes in mood, energy, and activity levels. These moods range from periods of extremely “up,” elated, and energized behavior (known as manic episodes) to very sad, “down,” or hopeless periods (known as depressive episodes). Less severe manic periods are known as hypomanic episodes.
People with bipolar disorder experience periods of unusually intense emotion, changes in sleep patterns and activity levels, and unusual behaviors. These distinct periods are called “mood episodes.” Mood episodes are drastically different from the moods and behaviors that are typical for the person. Extreme changes in energy, activity, and sleep go along with mood episodes.
Sometimes a mood episode includes symptoms of both manic and depressive symptoms. This is called an episode with mixed features. People experiencing an episode with mixed features may feel very sad, empty, or hopeless, while at the same time feeling extremely energized.
Bipolar disorder can be present even when mood swings are less extreme. For example, some people with bipolar disorder experience hypomania, a less severe form of mania. During a hypomanic episode, an individual may feel very good, be highly productive, and function well. The person may not feel that anything is wrong, but family and friends may recognize the mood swings and/or changes in activity levels as possible bipolar disorder. Without proper treatment, people with hypomania may develop severe mania or depression.

The apps, games and websites that are promoted as ‘educational’ are not always the best ones for supporting learning. The fact that they’re interactive doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re much better than an old-fashioned workbook with its right and wrong answers. Children may enjoy these products for a while but then get a bit bored, and we now know that they are not the most appropriate or engaging way to learn.
Treat so-called ‘free’ apps with caution. Some will expose your child to adverts. Others are designed to wait until your child is engaged in a game or storyline and then demand payment before they can go any further. This can lead to frustration as young children don’t understand why they can’t continue. Sometimes it’s better to make a small payment up front if the app promises no further purchases. However, the CBeebies Playtime and CBeebies Storytime apps are free to download and completely free of adverts or in-app purchases.
Choosing an app needs the same kind of thought and care you would put into buying anything else for your child. Don’t rely only on the star rating, but read the user reviews and check the privacy policy if you’re worried about the personal information that the app might be collecting. If you want your child to enjoy learning, to develop curiosity, and to think about things creatively then provide them with a range of games and apps. Open-ended games that become progressively more challenging and encourage children to explore and have fun are more likely to establish a love of learning and to lay the foundation for their future development.
physical activity, reading and other more 'traditional' activities continue to play a very important part in children's development, most parents do rely on screen devices from time to time to engage their child while they’re busy with something else. This is not a problem in itself, just as long as children’s time is made up of a balanced range of activities.

5. How does the idea in sentence 6 related to the other ideas in paragraph 2?
Sentence 6 elaborates the other ideas in paragraph 2
Sentence 6 is the result of the other ideas in paragraph 2
Sentence 6 strongly contradicts the other ideas in paragraph 2
Sentence 6 is the implementation of the theory discussed in paragraph 2
Sentences 6 provides another type of free applications discussed in paragraph 2

6. The author would apparently agree that....
open-ended games can stimulate children's love for learning
some games and applications are boring because they are too easy
there is no convincing prediction for the future of the games and apps
it is better to pay the games in advance so that children can learn freely
apps star rating provides users with reviews on the good things of games and apps

7. Regarding busy parents' reliance on screen devices to help keep their children entertained, the author assumes that ....
it is the parents' responsibility to make their children less engaged with screen devices
children whose parents are busy with theirr activities must use screen devices less
parents need to be aware of their children's need for varied activities
such parents' reliance is acceptable as long as the children are given the right proportion of other activities
it is not tolerable as their children need to have more physical activities

Emotion is a complex, subjective experience accompanied by biological and behavioral changes. Emotion involves feeling, thinking, activation of the nervous system, physiological changes, and behavioral changes such as facial expressions. Different theories exist regarding how and why people experience emotion. These include evolutionary theories, the James-Lange theory.
More than a century ago, in the 1870s, Charles Darwin proposed that emotions evolved because they had adaptive value. For example, fear evolved because it helped people to act in ways that enhanced their chances of survival. Darwin believed that facial expressions of emotion are innate (hard-wired). He pointed out that facial expressions allow people to quickly judge someone’s hostility or friendliness and to communicate intentions to others.
Recent evolutionary theories of emotion also consider emotions to be innate responses to stimuli. Evolutionary theorists tend to downplay the influence of thought and learning on emotion, although they acknowledge that both can have an effect. Evolutionary theorists believe that all human cultures share several primary emotions, including happiness, contempt, surprise, disgust, anger, fear, and sadness. They believe that all other emotions result from blends and different intensities of these primary emotions.
In the 1880s, two theorists, psychologist William James and physiologist Carl Lange, independently proposed an idea that challenged commonsense beliefs about emotion. This idea, which came to be known as the James-Lange theory, is that people experience emotion because they perceive their bodies’ physiological responses to external events. According to this theory, people don’t cry because they feel sad. Rather, people feel sad because they cry, and, likewise, they feel happy because they smile. This theory suggests that different physiological states correspond to different experiences of emotion.

Effects of environment on human emotion
Various experts' efforts in defining emotion

A study showed that a single artisanal coral reef fishery can produce over 30,000 meals per year, with an annual economic value of more than $78,000. The study was conducted in the Hawaiian bay of Kiholo by Conservation International, the Hui Aloha Kīholo — a community-based stewardship group — the National Geographic Society, The Nature Conservancy and the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa.
Ocean and coastal ecosystems bring a range of benefits to people worldwide, providing food and livelihoods to millions, but global and local stressors threaten these services. To better understand the benefits from ocean environments, the authors of this study investigated how an artisanal fishery supports a community, using a community-based approach to assess the factors affecting resource sustainability and food security in a small-scale coral reef fishery. The authors found that the small-scale Kīholo Bay fishery provides large-scale benefits to communities. "This coral reef fishery generates diverse social, economic and cultural values, which support the health and well-being of the Kīholo community," said lead author Dr. Jack Kittinger, director of Conservation International's Hawai'i program. "These benefits are likely common to coral reef fisheries across the globe, supporting key food security functions, cultural practices as well as local livelihoods."
The results of the study suggest that similar coral reef fisheries around the world provide to the people who depend on them with the same types of benefits. The survey found that 58 percent of the caught seafood is kept for home consumption, 34 percent is given away and only 8 percent sold to commercial markets. "We found that the vast majority of the catch is kept for home consumption or given away as part of cultural practices, showing the important role that this bay plays in sustaining our community," said Jenny Mitchell, a board member of Hui Aloha Kīholo. "When Kīholo thrives, so do we."
By surveying fishermen for an entire year, researchers were able to estimate that the fishery produced more than 7,300 pounds of seafood per year for the community of people who rely upon the fishery. Nearly 60 percent of the catch is used for subsistence, contributing to community food security, and geographic analysis of community beneficiaries showed that 20 percent of seafood procured is used for sociocultural events that are important for social cohesion.

11. What can be inferred from the passage?
The study was conducted because coral reefs are threatened globally
Sociocultural practices have burdened the sustainability of coral reef fishery
The benefits local people get from the existing coral reefs are immense
Coral reef fishery helps local people maintain their social relationship
Coral reef fishery provides the world with unlimited resource of food

12. The sentence "Ocean and coastal ecosystem bring a range of benefits to people worldwide." in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ....
people in most countries benefit from marine business
ocean benefit the world with water as the main source of rainfalls
many people gain considerable advantages from marine ecosystems
explorations from coast to ocean should be done to gain the most benefit
those benefited by marine lives range from local people to people worldwide

13. Which of the following reflects the author's bias about economic value of coral reef?
Fish- based food resources are guaranteed
It is applicable to any coral reef elsewhere
People shared the benefits of coral reefs
Coral reefs influences cultural events
people get benefits from coral reefs

14. In presenting the ideas, the author starts by ....
showing the benefits of fishery in Kiholo Bay
stating findings of research on coral reef fishery
warning the potential of coral reef damage
arguing the economic value of coral reef
describing the benefits of coral reef

Eating one avocado a day as part of a heart healthy, cholesterol-lowering moderate-fat diet can help improve bad cholesterol levels in overweight and obese individuals, according to new research published in the Journal of the American Heart Association.
Researchers evaluated the effect avocados had on traditional and novel cardiovascular risk factors by replacing saturated fatty acids from an average American diet with unsaturated fatty acids from avocados.
Forty-five healthy, overweight or obese patients between the ages of 21 and 70 were put on three different cholesterol-lowering diets. Participants consumed an average American diet (consisting of 34 percent of calories from fat, 51 percent carbohydrates, and 16 percent protein) for two weeks prior to starting one of the following cholesterol lowering diets: lower fat diet without avocado, moderate-fat diet without avocado, and moderate-fat diet with one avocado per day. The two moderate fat diets both provided 34 percent of calories as fat (17 percent of calories from monounsaturated fatty acids/MUFAs), whereas the lower fat diet provided 24 percent of calories as fat (11 percent from MUFAs). Each participant consumed each of the three test diet for five weeks. Participants were randomly sequenced through each of the three diets.
Researchers found that Compared to the baseline average American diet, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) -- the so called 'bad cholesterol' -- was 13.5 mg/dL lower after consuming the moderate fat diet that included an avocado. LDL was also lower on the moderate fat diet without the avocado (8.3 mg/dL lower) and the lower fat diet (7.4 mg/dL lower), though the results were not as striking as the avocado diet.
Several additional blood measurements were also more favorable after the avocado diet versus the other two cholesterol-lowering diets as well: total cholesterol, triglycerides, small dense LDL, non-HDL cholesterol, and others.
These measurements are all considered to be cardio-metabolic risk factors in ways that are independent of the heart-healthy fatty acid effects, said Penny M. Kris-Etherton, Ph.D., R.D., senior study author and Chair of the American Heart Association's Nutrition Committee and Distinguished Professor of Nutrition at Pennsylvania State University, in University Park, Pennsylvania.
"This was a controlled feeding study, but that is not the real-world -- so it is a proof-of-concept investigation. We need to focus on getting people to eat a heart-healthy diet that includes avocados and other nutrient-rich food sources of better fats," Kris-Etherton said.
In addition to MUFAs, avocados also provided other bioactive components that could have contributed to the findings such as fiber, phytosterols, and other compounds. The Mediterranean diet, includes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, fatty fish, and foods rich in monounsaturated fatty acids--like extra-virgin olive oil and nuts. Like avocados, some research indicates that these not only contain better fats but also certain micronutrients and bioactive components that may play an important role in reducing risk of heart disease.
"In the United States avocados are not a mainstream food yet, and they can be expensive, especially at certain times of the year. Also, most people do not really know how to incorporate them in their diet except for making guacamole. But guacamole is typically eaten with corn chips, which are high in calories and sodium. Avocados, however, can also be eaten with salads, vegetables, sandwiches, lean protein foods (like chicken or fish) or even whole."

Adapted from : http://sciencedaily.com

15. In relation t paragraph 2, what does paragraph 3 inform?
procedure in carrying out the research
results of the treatment described in paragraph 2
Cholesterol contents that are discussed in paragraph 2
Conditions of the respondents when applying the diets
elationships between the diets and cholesterol contents

16. based on the passage, the relationship between the Mediteranian diet and heart disease is like that between ....
distressed patient and male doctor
air conditioner and hot weather
severe hunger and big meal
bush fire and black smoke

17. About avocados described in the passage, the author has the same belief as the researchers' that ....
research needs to reveal accurately their contents
combined diets involving avocados needs further studies
the current research on avocados has conclusive findings
people will take the diet regardless the price of avocados
the fruit nutrients are equal to those of the Mediterranean diet

18. Which paragraphs of the passage most effectively illustrate the power of avocados to deal with heart disease?
2 and 6
3 and 6
3 and 5
4 and 5
5 and 6

19. The author of the passage implies that ....
heart disease happens due to lack of consuming avocados
avocados are closely linked to the high rate of heart diseas
eating avocados than other fruits is a better cure for heart disease
rather than the amount, the appropriate diet of avocados cures heart disease
consuming avocados likely lowers LDL levels among overweight person

20. Another simple way to restate ideas in the last paragraph of the passage is ....
avocados and the Mediterranean diet are more effective when they are consumed together with other fruits
elements of avocados, similar to those in the Mediterranean diet can lower the threat of the heart disease
avocados, rich in useful nutrients like the Mediterranean diet are used to treat people with heart disease
patients heart disease can effectively be treated by having either the Mediterranean diet or avocado feeding
micro nutrients in avocados and bio active contents in the Mediterranean diet alike heal heart disease effectively

Inilah Kiat- Kiat Sukses Lolos SBMPTN 2019 Tanpa Bimbingan Belajar (Bimbel)

Inilah Kiat- Kiat Sukses Lolos SBMPTN 2019 Tanpa Bimbingan Belajar (Bimbel)

Ayunara Bahar Comment Info Kuliah SBMPTN 2019 SNMPTN 2019 Soal HOTS

Proses pendaftaran SNMPTN 2019 sudah berakhir sehari yang lalu diakhiri dengan keputusan pengumuman calon mahasiswa yang diterima melalui jalur tersebut. Bagi yang namanya diterima, selamat ya, berarti sudah melalui satu langkah memasuki gerbang perguruan tinggi negeri. Adapun yang belum diterima, berarti mesti berjuang lagi dengan melalui proses atau jalur penerimaan yang lain seperti SBMPTN dan jalur mandiri.

Sukses SBMPTN

Proses jalur SBMPTN yang akan dihadapi oleh peserta ibaratnya sebagai jalur yang paling susah karena jumlah persaingan serta bentuk soal ujian SBMPTN yang tingkat kesulitannya diatas rata-rata. Soal SBMPTN seperti kita ketahui sebagian besar proporsinya menggunakan soal bertipe HOTS, yang menuntut peserta tes mengerahkan segenap kemampuan dalam menganalisa dan memahami bentuk soal.

Latihan merupakan hal yang utama disamping hal- hal lain sebagai pendukung seperti administrasi dalam sukses SBMPTN. Nah, berkaitan dengan latihan soal, menjelang penerimaan mahasiswa baru khususnya menjelang SBMPTN, kamu dapat memilih suplemen sistem latihan soal, apakah sendiri atau melibatkan pihak lain seperti bimbingan belajar (bimbel). Pada musim pendaftaran seperti saat ini banyak bimbingan belajar yang menawarkan program untuk lolos SBMPTN. Tentunya bila kamu mempunyai uang yang berlebih tidak ada salahnya kamu mencoba ikut bimbingan belajar karena biasanya bimbingan belajar akan memberikan berbagai pengalaman dalam mengerjakan soal- soal dengan tipe SBMPTN plus cara cepatnya.

Kelebihan lain pada bimbingan belajar juga tersedia tryout atau simulasi ujian secara berkala. Dari situlah kamu akan tahu kemampuanmu dalam mengerjakan ujian dengan tipe soal SBMPTN. 

Cara yang lain selain mengikuti bimbingan belajar adalah kamu bisa belajar mandiri dengan materi- materi SBMPTN yang bisa kamu latih sendiri baik dirumah maupun bersama dengan orang lain. Cara ini memang mudah dan murah, artinya dapat dilakukan setiap saat serta tidak membutuhkan biaya yang berlebih. Kekurangan dari cara yang kedua ini, kamu harus bisa mengatur waktu dan berdisiplin diri untuk belajar. Berikut ini beberapa kiat dan  langkah- langkah bagaimana belajar mandiri tanpa melibatkan bimbel untuk menghadapi tes SBMPTN melalui UTBK mendatang.

Pertama, carilah soal- soal SBMPTN tahun sebelumnya yang memuat soal, jawaban dan cara pengerjaan soal. Kamu bisa mencari soal- soal yang saat ini banyak tersedia di toko buku terdekat. Perlu diingat, carilah buku soal yang mempunyai penyelesaian akhir yang baik, artinya soal yang lengkap dengan cara penyelesaiannya. Mengetahui pola dan bentuk soal SBMPTN adalah hal yang utama, mengapa? Karena soal SBMPTN mempunyai bentuk, pola, tingkat kesulitan dan kerumitan yang berbeda dengan soal- soal yang pernah kamu pelajari sebelumnya seperti di SMA. Pada sistem SBMPTN 2019 ini berbeda dari tahun sebelumnyya, yaitu pelaksanaan tes berbasis UTBK diberikan kesempatan dua kali. dari situ bisa diketahui dan diukur taraf kesulitan soalnya pada kesempatan yang kedua.

Kedua, Berdisiplin waktu untuk berlatih soal- soal SBMPTN. Belajar membutuhkan komitmen diri untuk terus maju dan berhasil, maka bila kamu ingin lolos dalam SBMPTN maka aturlah waktumu dengan baik untuk belajar dan berlatih. Komitmen diri sangat penting dalam mengatur waktu. Kamu bisa meluangkan dua atau tiga jam seharinya untuk belajar dan berlatih soal. Hindarilah penggunaan gadget dalam hal yang kurang penting saat kamu belajar.

Ketiga, Berkonsultasilah dengan teman atau orang yang lebih berpengalaman dalam menjawab soal - soal SBMPTN terutama soal- soal yang sulit. Sekali lagi, soal SBMPTN memiliki tingkat kesulitan dan kerumitan yang berbeda dari materi yang pernah diajarkan di sekolah sebelumnya, maka bila kamu menemukan tipe atau pola yang sukar atau sulit, jangan pernah sungkan untuk bertanya, karena dengan bertanya kamu akan mendapatkan penjelasan secara jelas. Carilah waktu yang tepat untuk berkonsultasi.

Keempat, Ikutilah try out yang banyak diselenggarakan meskipun kamu tidak mengikuti bimbingan belajar. Try out biasanya menggunakan soal- soal yang mempunyai pola dan tingkat kesulitan yang sama dengan soal SBMPTN. Dengan mengikuti Try out, kamu akan mengetahui sejauh mana kemampuanmu dalam menjawab soal dan mengatur waktunya.

Kelima, Berdoalah di setiap aktivitasmu. Persaingan masuk ke perguruan tinggi negeri melalui jalur SBMPTN sangat ketat. Berusahalah, pantang menyerah dan berdoalah untuk kesuksesanmu.

Dan sebagai penutup dari tulisan ini adalah jangan pernah menyerah dalam sebuah persaingan yang sangat ketat untuk masuk ke perguruan tinggi negeri. Meskipun kamu tidak ikut bimbingan belajar, kamu bisa lolos dalam SBMPTN, serta mereka yang ikut les melalui bimbel belum tentu juga akan diterima. Manfaatkan waktumu, disiplin dan pantang menyerah dalam setiap usahamu.

Semoga sukses.

Two years ago I had a chance to fly in an aeroplane. This was my first flight so I was very nervous. I feared that sorts of accidents might happen on the way. I thought that the engine might burst and come down with a crash. Sometimes I was afraid that the pilot might make a mistake and I had to pay for it with my life.
Soon after I had seated myself there, the sound of the engines rose to a roar as moved off, and gradually its speed. Then it was with a feeling of surprise I noticed that the ground was at some distance beneath me. As the plane went higher and higher up in the air, a strange sensation ran through my body. Soon, the motion was easy. The fear which overtook me at the time of flight was no more in my heart. Now I was quite bold in the air.
This did not mean that I felt the worse for it. I felt as comfortable in the aeroplane as I used to feel in my car. I felt no sense of insecurity. I did not occur to me even for a moment that my life could ever be in danger. The machine flew as smoothly in the air as a boat glides down a peaceful stream.
When the plane was at sufficient height, I looked through the pane of the window. The earth seemed to be “falling off” from us. The big building looked like a small spots of beauty. The sky was clear. Everything looked new and strange.
The most beautiful thing was the scene around me. I saw nothing but was surrounded by pure air. Occasionally I saw clouds floating here and there.
We flew over the roofs of many houses. At one place we were very near the roof and I felt that we were going to touch it. After flying for a long time, we finally touch the earth. The journey was so pleasant and comfortable that I could not forget it.

Niagara Falls is the most famous water fall in the world because of its beauty and immense size. Niagara Falls is part of the Niagara River. The Niagara is a short river, just 35 miles (56 kilometers) long. It connects Lake Erie and Lake Ontario in eastern North America. East of the river is the United States. West of the river is Canada. About halfway between the two lakes, a sharp drop in the river makes Niagara Falls.
Niagara Falls is actually two giant waterfalls and one smaller one. Goat Island, in New York state, lies between the two main falls. One big waterfall, called American Falls, is on the U.S. side of the river. American Falls has a fairly straight edge. The waterfall is 1,075 feet (328 meters) wide and 182 feet (55 meters) high. A small part of American Falls, located near Goat Island, is called Bridal Veil Falls.
The biggest of the two giant waterfalls is in Canada and is known as the Canadian Falls. It’s also called the Horseshoe Falls because of its horseshoe shape. The curved edge of the Canadian Falls measures 2,200 feet (670 meters) wide, and the water drops 187 feet (57 meters). The Canadian Falls carries nine times more water than the American Falls.
Niagara Falls is a popular tourist attraction. Millions of people come each year to watch the spectacular waterfalls. You can take a boat trip to see the falls from below. You can also watch from observation decks above or beside the falls. You can even enter the Cave of the Winds, a path that takes you to the base of Bridal Veil Falls. Visitors must wear bright-yellow rain jackets to stay dry.
Niagara Falls makes an enormous, ground-shaking roar and a huge cloud of water mist. Rainbows shine through the mist. At night, the falls are lit with colored lights, creating a brilliant display.
