Dino Discovery Even though dinosaurs lived millions of years before humans existed, we know a lot about what they looked like from studying fossils. Back in 2006 Robyn and Stuart Mackenzie were riding their motorbikes on their farm in the Australian outback when they spotted a pile of what looked like large black rocks.They took a closer look and decided that they looked a bit like bones. Scientists were called in to take an even closer look and they worked out that they were in fact fossils of dinosaur bones.

We burn fuels to power our vehicles and keep our homes warm. But there is a problem, the fuels we burn, such as oil and gas, release pollutants into the atmosphere like carbon dioxide. If only there was a cleaner fuel that released no pollution… Burning is a chemical reaction called combustion. Combustion is an oxidation reaction because during combustion the fuel reacts with oxygen and oxides are produced. Let’s look at burning natural gas as an example. Natural gas is also called methane. It is the gas you might burn at home in your central heating and oven.

But did you know that only a few hundred years ago Britain was home to lots of other animals like wolves, lynx, bison and even bears?

Plastic not so fantastic Plastic is a really useful material – it can be moulded into lots of different shapes, it’s waterproof and durable. Plastic might look like a wonder material, but there is a problem. It’s thought that more than eight million tonnes of plastic enter the world’s oceans every year. That is about the same mass as 2 million elephants – it’s very difficult to imagine just how much plastic this is – but it’s a lot!

COVID-19 The world shut down while COVID-19 spread rapidly throughout human populations in many countries during 2020. A tiny virus caused havoc with lives and caused many deaths. In early 2020 a mystery illness was making many people very ill in China and causing people to die. Doctors realised quite early on that this flu-like illness was actually a respiratory disease.The virus caused breathing problems and it was very similar to other viruses which had emerged a few years before called SARS and MERS.

Return to the moon The last time a person walked on the Moon was in 1972, but there are plans to return there very soon. Engineers are building a brand new rocket for this new mission. The new NASA mission to return people – including the first woman and person of colour - to the Moon’s surface in 2024 is called Artemis. This name has been chosen for a reason. In Ancient Greek mythology, Artemis is a Goddess – twin sister to the God Apollo. And Apollo was the name of the NASA mission that took people to the Moon for the first time.
