Did you know that the moon is the cause of ocean tides?
Tides are created because the Earth and the moon are attracted to each other, just like magnets are attracted to each other. The moon tries to pull at anything on the Earth to bring it closer. But, the Earth is able to hold onto everything except the water.
Did you know that there are 206 bones in the adult human body but 300 in children?
That is because some consist of hard connective tissue and others are made of cartilage. Over time, the cartilage hardens and turns to bone and some bones come together.
Hey Kids!!! Did you know the reasons behind any of these fun facts? If not, that is the reason why we are here. To teach you about the wonderful world of science. Science is a cool subject because science is all around you and answers many of the questions we have about life. This blog is designed to be a fun and exciting way for you to learn about the three types of sciences. There is natural science, which is mainly fact based.

Hi kids! My name is Jay (Woohyuk Jang) and I am from South Korea. I am sophomore at UNC-Chapel Hill, and I transferred from California. My major is Economics, and I am 27 years old. I think I am older than other students because I was in the military for 2 years in my country. I was a baseball player in middle school and I was involved in Taekwondo and Korean Martial Arts in high school. I like to watch and participate in all kinds of sports. I hope that after college I can get a job at a bank. The main purpose of our group is to let you know about science. You will learn many science facts, such as Emus and Kangaroos cannot walk backwards. Other group members and I will do our best for you guys.
