Kidding around Ag Science

Why do farmers mount radar guns on their tractors? (Hint: It's not to catch speeding deer.) What can you do with leftover chicken feathers besides building a boat? How can satellites help beekeepers retrieve forgotten hives chock full of honey? Answers to these and other questions appear on Sci4Kids, a colorful, kid-friendly Web site prepared by the Agricultural Research Service for the 8-to-13 crowd. Budding scientists can explore such topics as how oranges help fuel vehicles and how scientists test packages to ensure that bugs don't climb into cereal awaiting shipment. You'll find lots of good material for science projects.
