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.
Emily and Nick came into school to tell us about the life of a Salmon and the difficulties our little Alvin might face on their river and sea journey.
Scientists want to save whale sharks by tagging them the tags will tell them where it his been and what it has eaten it should also tell them what happens to whale sharks – dangers ! whale shark are found in the sea off Peru. whale sharks can grow up to 18m long

Scientists think that 334,000 men and women should go for 20 minutes walk every day and can lower the risk of death!!!
Also scientists found that a fifth of the study group did no exercise at work or in there own time!!!
The researchers say that in 2008,9.2million people in Europe died and that 337,000 of these deaths were due to obesity!!!
If you would exercise for 20 minutes a day you would survive 8 months longer!

Scientists have built a Japanese robot that was inspired by origami it can fold itself up and walk away. It can walk 5cm per second Scientists say these robots are really strong for there weight. They may be possible for Scientists to make shelters that build there self after disasters.
