    This magazine issue offers kids the opportunity to explore news from around the country. It also provides excellent information about different Science topics such as animals, the weather, and even space exploration. This particular magazine can easily be implemented into my future classroom to launch a Science lesson. We as a class could participate in open-ended discussions about the topics within the articles and also adapt hands-on activity that it suggests.
