Science Facts For Students
1)All electrical devices have fuses in them. Fuses are essentially firebreaks. If there is a power surge, the fuse will break, preventing any damage or fire.

3) In 1495, Leonardo da Vinci sketched out designs for a humanoid robot. Today, many robot prototypes are being made.
4)Out of the Ancient Wonders of the World, the Great Pyramid of Giza, is the oldest and the one that remains mostly intact.
5)The way engineers solve practical problems is through mathematical and scientific knowledge. The word Engineer itself comes from a Latin word, which means “cleverness.”

12)Elephants stay pregnant for 22 months; this is the longest period of gestation in any land mammal.
13)Science kids dinosaur facts say scientists have discovered that the theropod group of dinosaurs, which includes the T-Rex, are the ancestors of birds.

23)The average time it takes for plastic to decompose is 450 years. Glass takes 4,000 years!
24)97% of the water on the planet is salty and not usable. 2% is frozen. That leaves us with just 1% of usable water!
