to explain everyday phenomena of our world, correct misconceptions, and answer frequently asked questions. Visit the K–2 portion of NASA's KSNN™ web site for 60-second animations, activities, and resource links covering such topics as "magnetism" and "states of matter." The grade 3–5 portion of the NASA KSNN™ web site features children in 60-second (video) newsbreaks answering such questions as why is the sky blue and what makes popcorn pop. Each newsbreak includes a follow-up written explanation, inquiry-based activities, related print and electronic resources, and a computer-graded quiz.
