Have you ever heard of penguins giving presents? Scientists have discovered an unusual friendship between penguins and leopard seals in Antarctica and South Africa. These penguins have been seen offering fish to leopard seals, who normally hunt them! Researchers believe this might be a way for penguins to protect themselves. Imagine you’re standing on the icy shores of Antarctica, watching a small penguin bravely swim toward a massive leopard seal three times its size, holding a fish in its beak like a peace offering! The leopard seal is as big as 450 basketballs, while the tiny penguin is just the size of one basketball. Scientists have observed this behavior in both Antarctica and South Africa, making it a truly global phenomenon. What do you think the penguins are trying to communicate with this unusual gift-giving behavior?
In exciting technology news, NASA (the National Aeronautics and Space Administration) has invited teenagers from 12 different countries to help design a new space station! The “Space Youth Challenge” has selected 45 young students, including 15-year-old Maya from India and 14-year-old Leo from Brazil, to contribute (contribute/give) their ideas for the International Space Station 2.0. Imagine sitting in a room with real astronauts and engineers, your drawings and concepts displayed on huge screens, as they ask you: “How would you make living in space better for future astronauts?” The new space station will be as large as 3 football fields put together! These lucky teens will spend six months working with NASA experts, and their designs might actually be used in the final space station. If you could design something for space, what would you create?
For our art lovers, get ready for the Global Color Challenge coming next month! This exciting event invites children aged 8-14 from around the world to create art using only recycled materials. Last year’s winning entry was a beautiful sculpture of a forest made entirely from plastic bottles! If you want to join the fun, here’s a simple project to start with: collect old buttons, bottle caps, and colorful paper scraps to create your own masterpiece. The competition’s founder, artist Sarah Chen, explains: “We’ve seen amazing artworks (artworks/creations) from kids in over 60 countries. This year, we’re focusing on oceans and sea life.” Imagine visiting the exhibition hall where hundreds of colorful artworks line the walls, each telling a story about our planet. The winning artwork will be displayed in museums across five continents! What recycled materials would you use to show the beauty of our oceans?
