Sci4Kids is a series of stories about what scientists do here at the ARS. Geared to kids about 8 to 13 years old, it is produced by the ARS Information Staff in Beltsville, Maryland. We bet you'll agree that much of what our scientists do is not what you might expect.
You may be a student today but may already be on your way to a career in science or farming or computers. Or maybe you're curious about some of the strange creatures that share the planet with you. (Other than your brother or sister.)
Science is not something far away in a laboratory. It's wired right into your daily life--to the food you eat, the clothes you wear, the water you drink. Whatever your interest in science, we hope Sci4Kids will help you find out that it can be fun as well as informative.
The stories in Sci4Kids are based on some of the research stories in our monthly Agricultural Research magazine and other news reports. Those materials are geared to an adult audience, but please explore them as you wish. You can use our search engine to find stories on specific topics.

SCIENCE NEWS FOR KIDS Science News for Kids is a new Web site devoted to science news for children of ages 9 to 14.
Our 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.
Our 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.
There is a teacher zone as well.
