The avocado is the fruit of a tree native to south and central America. It prefers to grow in tropical areas.
Avocados are much higher in fat than other fruits. The avocado has a big seed inside it, and a hard skin, so you can only eat the soft flesh in between. Their flesh is yellow to green, and has a texture that is a little like butter, hence one of their common names of "butter fruit". The flesh of the avocado can be spread on bread or crackers, or the flesh can be diced and used as an ingredient in salads.
Colorado, abbreviated to CO, is a state in the central United States of America. The capital of Colorado is Denver.
When you stand in front of a light like the sun, some of the light hits you and some of the light goes past you. Where you are in the way between the sun and the ground, there will be a shadow. A shadow is just somewhere there is less light than there is around it. Shadows are the same shape as whatever is blocking the light.
Shadows change size and shape depending on how high or low the light is. Shadows are darker and clearer when the light is strong and coming from only one direction. You can make shadow puppets with your hands or some cut-out shapes, a light and a wall.
