There are 7 major chords: A, B, C, D, E, F, G. They can all be made a bit more "sad" sounding, e.g. E become Em. Some of the chords is easier to start with, for example Em.

If you like Taylor Swift this might be perfect for you. It uses chords Em, A and G. Pause the video and practice each chord. Move between them. It usually is a good idea to practice for a while and then continue the next day, to avoid pain in the fingers. When you master this skill, you might wanna continue with piano.

Coding

Learning coding nowadays is almost what learning to read and write was to people in the past. If you learn the “language of the machines” you will have a much better understanding of the world of the future and even the world you live in right now!

Here are a few excellent websites that teach you coding. They are sorted by the type of coding they are and what their difficulty level is. You should start from the right one according to your level of experience. Scratch programming is one way:

To understand what coding is mostly about, watch this hilarious video! Machines only do what you tell them to do! :D

Our economic growth and development are leading to an increase of environmental damage and risk. Countries are turning to more sustainable ways of economic growth and development to decrease our environmental impact. 

What is Sustainable Development?

Economic development without conducting any harm to the environment or depletion of natural resources. Sustainable development aims to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. 

How do we impact our Environment?

• Burning of fossil fuels
• Pollution: Air-, water-, noise-, plastic-, light- pollution. 
• Global warming and climate change
• Overfishing
• Deforestation, etc. 

How can you help care for the Environment?

Atom is a basic buidling block of matter. This doesn't mean that there are no smaller particles than atom, but only atom is stable enough to exist on its own indepently or in a combination with other atoms in a molecul.

This very nice video gives more detailed info on the topic of atoms.

What is a molecul? A molecul would be a combination of different atoms in differen numbers and variations, bonded together. A good example for this is water with a chemical formula H₂O, meaning the molecul of water is made of two atoms of hydrogen (H) and one atom of oxygen (O).
