Since its founding in 1921, the Society for Science has been committed to sharing scientific news and information with the public. Today, Science News covers topics ranging from astronomy to zoology, with stories that are both engaging and accessible to nonexperts. In print and online, Science News delivers up-to-the-minute science news and information to millions of readers, from students ages 9 to 14 to adults. Whether you are looking for a single news story or a series of articles to use in your classroom, you can find what you need on our Education Resources page.

To help readers understand complex scientific concepts, Science News for Students provides a glossary of terms, called Power Words. New terms are introduced weekly through the Scientists Say series. Each article also includes questions for kids to answer as they read, and a teacher’s guide with background information, lesson ideas and activities is available for most stories. In addition, teachers can post each reading to Google Classroom and assign it for homework.
