Topical Science

We are starting to watch Newsround and find out a bit about what is going on in the world of science.

 

There is a baby orang-utan that was rejected by its mum in Berlin, and has come to Dorset Zoo. We all think it is really cute.

There is a sea in Kazakhstan called the Aral Sea, it has shrunk and almost vanished. The fish in it died. People moved away because there was no fishing so they needed new jobs. They have built  a dam to try and save it. The water level is already getting higher again so hopefully this will work.

Scientists are trying to build parking spaces in space! They are putting cables on to the International Space Station so astronauts can park when they go up to visit. They hope that they will be able to use them by 2017.

In Britain people want to start using the tide to make electricity to power our homes. It would be clean energy which we think would be good, but fisherman are worried it might effect fish in the river. We might ask Emily from Fishing for the Future what she thinks when she’s next in.
