Science News for Kids is a web site devoted to science news for children of ages 9 to 14.
The goal is to offer timely items of interest to kids, accompanied by suggestions for hands-on activities, books, articles, Web resources, and other useful materials. The emphasis is on making the Web site appealing by offering kids opportunities to comment on and grade the subject matter, get ideas for science projects, and try out mathematical puzzles. At the same time, we offer teachers creative ways of using science news in their classrooms.
Society for Science & the Public, the publisher of Science News, is a nonprofit corporation based in Washington, D.C. Founded in 1921, Society for Science & the Public has the mission of advancing the popular understanding of science through publications and educational programs. The organization administers the Intel Science Talent Search, the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, the Discovery Channel Young Scientist Challenge, and other programs in science education.
