What is chlamydia?

Chlamydia is an infection that you can get if you have sex without a condom and the other person already has it. Many people have chlamydia. Often they don't know, because there are no signs that they have it. But it's easy for a doctor to test whether you have chlamydia. And it can easily be treated.

If you get chlamydia, it's important to get treated, otherwise you may not be able to have children. You can be tested by your GP, or by the GUM clinic in a hospital. If you live in the USA, Planned Parenthood can help you.

You can greatly reduce your chances of getting chlamydia in the first place if you use a condom each time you have penetrative sex.

What is distilled water?

Distilled water is water which has been purified by boiling it. Because many of the impurities you can find in water won't have boiled as well, when you turn the steam back into water it should be more pure than before.

You use distilled water in steam irons, and in car batteries. Some people also drink it, especially when the ordinary water nearby is salty or dirty.

What is a metaphor?

A metaphor is when you say that anything is something it really isn't, in order to describe it.

For example, saying that the fog is a cat, or that life is a battle, is using metaphors. This tells people that the fog is a bit like a cat: grey, perhaps, and not waiting to be invited. Life is a bit like a battle because it's dangerous.

But if you say the fog is like a cat, or that life is like a battle, that's a simile rather than a metaphor. Metaphors and similes work rather similarly.

What is a prime number?

A prime number is a number which can't be divided exactly by anything but itself and 1. It must be a whole number (an integer) and greater than zero (positive).

For example, 2, 3, 5, and 7 are all prime. But 4 is not, because it can be divided by 2.

Any whole, positive number which is not prime is called a composite number. So, 4 is a composite number.

1 is not a prime number.

Prime numbers go on for ever. There is no limit to how many there are. If you kept counting for ever, you would keep on finding new prime numbers.
