Our nearest neighbor Mars is a cold desert planet with no liquid water on its surface. Mars, like Earth, has two poles, each of which are covered by huge ice caps that remain frozen throughout the year. But in the Martian arctic, frozen water lies just below ground level instead of on the surface as [...]
Well, that was a disgusting week for us to get through… Parasites = Yuck.
Next up… Pulleys! Pulleys are everywhere you look and we’ll get into the details of these simple machines.
But first let’s recap some of the other science stories we found this week:
Newton’s third law states that every action has equal and opposite reaction. We will put this law to test in this experiment and check its validity.
Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, Venus and Mercury are all very easy to spot with the naked eye -IF you know where to find them. Using a little know-how and maybe the use of some tools found on the web you can walk outside and point right at these planets. It’s quite easy.
“The planets range from small to large”, what does that really mean? This excellent example shows you exactly what that means in a short film.
Plutoids, the term given to dwarf planets like Pluto which sit beyond the orbit of Neptune, have just recently received a new addition to the family, Makemake.
Looks like an egg omelet?
Might smell like one too…
Outerspace volcanoes!
Here it comes!
We just got our first batch of science based games back to share with everyone.
We’ll be adding a new one or two every month so it won’t be long until we have many, many, many.

Here’s some interesting articles we found on the internet this week:

What’s hundreds of feet underwater, is hotter than boiling water and in the arctic circle? A field of underwater “black smokers.” Some of these deep-water volcanic vents are teeming with strange life like crabs that eat bacteria that eat sulfur and shrimp that [...]
What comes to your mind when you think of the Milky Way? Well, the Milky Way is a galaxy among the billions of galaxies in the universe. A galaxy refers to a cluster of billions of stars and other heavenly bodies, including solar systems like ours.
Galaxies are classified on the basis of the arrangement of [...]
