For those of you who are science fanatics… you’ll love this week’s website!  Science News for Kids is all about science:   http://www.sciencenewsforkids.org/.  You can read hooking articles and learn outrageous facts and new vocabularies from the articles!

Science News for Kids’ strengths are that it has everything there is to know about science.  It’s tabs on Atoms and Forces, Earth and Sky, Humans and Health, Life, Tech and Math, and Extra.  However, it doesn’t have games, which is the only drawback of this website.

Studying what you love is the way to go!  This is what I learned from Science News for Kids.

Wayne Maddison was 13 when he first became interested in spiders.  He pursued his interest in spiders and eventually studied spiders in college.  Maddison now works traveling to remote jungles in search of new species. 

Michael Dorcas started keeping pet snakes in his family pool at age 10.  After college, he started studying one of the biggest snakes in the world: the Burmese Python.  It could grow up to 20 feet long and swallow alligators, crocodiles, and deer WHOLE!!!  He also works in the Florida Everglades by finding and killing Burmese Pythons as they are not native to the Everglades.
