Summary

Abstract: Sci4Kids is a series of stories about what scientists do at the ARS. Geared to kids about 8 to 13 years old, it is produced by the ARS Information Staff in Beltsville, Maryland. The stories in Sci4Kids are based on some of the research stories in our monthly Agricultural Research magazine and other news reports. Those materials are geared to an adult audience, but please explore them as you wish. You can use our search engine to find stories on specific topics. As we continue to "grow" the site, begun in September 1998, we welcome your suggestions for improvement. You can e-mail us by clicking on the Dr. Watts button, which sends inquiries to the site's coordinator. Sci4Kids follows the privacy policy of ARS and other USDA agencies, described on the Web at: http://www.ars.usda.gov/disclaim.html#privacy http://www.ars.usda.gov/is/kids/
