Since the very beginning of space exploration, scientists have always been dedicated to expanding the boundaries of our understanding of space and the universe. Through decades of unwavering research, they have made groundbreaking discoveries about the mysteries of our universe. Moreover, they have developed innovations that have improved daily life, advanced medical research, and supported […]
On December 25, 2022, a 10-year-old girl named Scarlett Doumato sent a partially-eaten cookie and two half-eaten baby carrots to the Cumberland Police Department. With a handwritten note on yellow-lined paper, the aspiring investigator asked for a DNA analysis on the bagged-up carrots and cookies she left for Santa and his reindeer. This was to […]
For more than 100 years, scientists have been studying global warming and its disastrous effects, one of our planet’s most critical issues. From heat waves, severe storms and flooding, and increased drought to changing weather patterns, melting glaciers and warming oceans, rising sea levels, loss of species, and even health risks, these catastrophic effects of […]
Chapter One – Brownie’s Perspective It was an average morning. I was having lunch. Lunch, as humans like to call it, is grass, as usual. It was the same procedure. Bite, chew, chew, swallow. It tasted a little stale, but it was all I had. Gerald, our group’s pride and joy in a bad way, […]
Have you ever heard of the largest primate species to ever exist? Meet the Gigantopithecus blacki, the giant ape that roamed southeast Asia 2 million to 300,000 years ago. This ancient primate stood up to 10 feet tall (3 meters) and weighed over 440 to 660 pounds (200–300 kg), approximately three to four times a […]
Are you having a rough day? Whether it’s a change in routine, homework load, tricky math problems, or deadlines, everyday life can be quite stressful. But what if I tell you dogs or man’s best friend can know when people are stressed? Yes. You read that right! A dog (if you have a pet at […]
To all space enthusiasts here, I have amazing news for you! The dawn of a new era of moon exploration begins again, 50 years after the last Apollo mission. NASA’s Artemis program plans to take humankind’s next giant leap and return to the Moon. They are launching the first stage, Artemis 1, which is among […]
We think that life began on Earth at least 3.5 to 4 billion years ago. This is because the oldest evidence of life form recorded is a 3.49-billion-year-old microscopic fossil. The remains of the Stromatolites or microbial reefs created by cyanobacteria were found in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. This oldest fossil ever discovered […]
Carbon-14 is used for radio carbon dating. Carbon 14 is a radioactive isotope of carbon with an atomic nucleus containing 6 protons and 8 neutrons. It’s presence in organic materials is the basis of the radio carbon dating method pioneered by Will Libbey and his colleagues to estimate the age of something after it died. […]
Last time I shared with you a post about the incredible possibility of bringing back an iconic extinct species: the Tasmanian Tiger. And after reading it, I’m pretty sure this question might’ve already crossed your mind: How about dinosaurs? Is it possible for scientists to resurrect dinosaurs? Imagine seeing a real dinosaur! Just like in […]
Hello everyone! It has been about 3 months since I started my “KN B-DAY CELEBRATION” project on KidzNet. Because of many reasons – having tests, extracurricular activities and homework, I was unable make time to get it done properly. Now I have more breaks so I am going to “reactivate” my project to make all […]
Igneous Rocks- The Fiery Ones Huge bubbles of hot, fluid rock called magma form deep in the earth’s mantle and squeeze towards the surface. Occasionally, magma forces its way through the earth’s crust by erupting out of a volcano. Once the magma flows from a volcano, it is called lava. As the lava cools, it eventually hardens […]
For the first time in history, a NASA spacecraft called the Parker Solar Probe successfully entered the corona, or the outermost part of the Sun’s atmosphere, hence “touching” the Sun. It is one of the monumental developments in solar science because it has always been one of the key goals of the Parker Solar Probe […]
