Fireworks (large print)
by RnibThese pages show an image of a firework on each page. It is a multi-page image set on three pages. There is a locator dot shown on each page, which will be at the top left when the image is the correct way up. Each image is surrounded by a dashed line image border. Roman candle: The firework is at the bottom of the page. It is a red tube seen from the side standing on some grass. The Roman candle has been lit and so silvery yellow sparks and small fireballs are shooting out of the end up the page into the night sky. The top of the page is full of silvery yellow lights. Catherine wheel: In the top middle of the page is a large circle which is the wheel. In its centre is a pivot where it has been nailed to a wooden post shown in the centre bottom of the page. The wheel freely rotates around the pivot. Around the edge of the wheel are six orange fireworks. These are small tubes that have been lit so that yellow sparks are flying out of each of them. The sparks create a thrust like a small rocket which causes the wheel to rotate in an anti-clockwise direction. Rocket: There are three dotted lines coming from the bottom left to upper right of the page. They represent the rockes trail as it has shot into the night sky. The rocket has exploded sending three fireballs out into the sky. The one in the top left of the page has exploded sending out silvery white flashes and sparks. The one in the top right of the page has exploded sending out silvery blue clouds of sparks. The one in the right of the page has exploded sending out silvery pink flashes and sparks.

Cactus (UEB uncontracted)
by RnibThere are two images of the Pachycereus pringlei cactus on this page.There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up.In the top right of the page is a small image, with a border, of a large branching cactus dwarfing a person standing to the right of it. This shows how large the plant can grow; the tallest found is 19.2 metres (63 feet) high.Most of the page is filled by an image of a young cactus with a single stem, shown at actual size. The plant is rooted in the soil at the bottom of the page. The plans stem is shaped like a squat column with a rounded top in the top part of the page. It has clusters of spines on its surface, which help it cut water loss in its hot, dry desert environment by slowing the flow of air around it.The cactus has ridges going vertically up its stem, giving it a star-shaped cross section. This allows the plant to expand and fill up with water during rainy periods.The cactus is a dicotyledon.

Common hair cap moss (large print)
by RnibThis is an image of a Common Hair-cap Moss (Polytrichum commune) sporophyte. This has grown from a zygote, the result of the fusing of male and female gametes on the green plant (gametophyte). The sporophyte remains attached to the green plant.There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up.The moss is fixed in the ground at the bottom centre of the page. Going up from here there are narrow leaves growing out to the left and right from the stem. There are brown leaves at the bottom and green leaves further up.The stem continues up the page.You will find the plans capsule containing spores at the top of the image. It has a lid, with beak on top, which opens to release the spores; these will grow into new green plants.Like most mosses the Hair-cap grows in moist habitats: wet heathland or bogs. Its height ranges from 5 to 30 centimetres. Many plants will grow together to form a thick mat.
