Ants in your pants
Ant, ants, ants in your pants.
Ants, ants, crawling over flowering plants.
Long, long ago when dinosaurs still had a chance,
ants and flowering plants may have done quite a dance.
Not the waltz, not the polka,
Not to techno or to go-go.
If you want some answers to these rhymes,
keep on reading, it won't take much time.

Icy volcano on saturn's moon
Saturn is a planet that almost everyone knows about--it's the one with the pretty stripes and all the rings. Last year a little spaceship about the size of a short school bus flew really close to one of Saturn's moons called Enceladus. The spaceship Cassini was packed with lots of tools to help scientists get a good look at the faraway moon.

Chimps try to help
How many people have you helped today? Did you help your brother find his shoes before school? Did you lend a pencil to your best friend in math class? Did you help your soccer coach put away the balls after practice? If you did, you must be a human. Humans are some of the most helpful animals around. We lend a hand to our family, our friends, sometimes even strangers. Other animals aren't even close to being that helpful--or are they?

A beaver buddy for the dinosaurs?
Wouldn't it be cool to go back in time and see what things looked like 164 million years ago? Those were the days of the dinosaurs, which is why scientists digging in China were so surprised when they found a new animal fossil from that time that looks a lot like a beaver!
