On November 17, the Security Council of the United Nations (UN, organization of 193 nations) approved a peace plan to end the war between Israel and Hamas (a terrorist group based in Gaza, a Palestinian territory). This follows a ceasefire (pause in fighting) agreement that went into effect in October. What happened? The Security Council is the main group within the UN that is responsible for maintaining international peace and security. It has 15 member nations, and its decisions must be followed by all UN member countries. In a 13–0 vote at UN headquarters in New York City, the council approved a 20-point resolution aimed at ensuring lasting peace and rebuilding Gaza, which has been devastated by the two-year war. The plan was created by President Donald Trump’s administration. Member…

Would you ride in a taxi with no one in the driver’s seat? Self-driving cars use cameras, sensors, and computers to see the road, stop at red lights, and avoid pedestrians and other vehicles. They use artificial intelligence (AI, when computers learn like humans do) to determine the quickest and safest route. Despite these high-tech tools, not everyone wants to try them. In a recent poll, 74% of Americans said they don’t trust driverless cars. The companies that make the cars insist they’re safe, and some studies show that cars controlled by computers can be safer than those with human drivers. What do you think? Are driverless taxis a good idea? Yes—the future is here Driving long distances can be hard on people because they get tired and need to…

Researchers have spotted at least one new vaquita calf in Mexico’s Gulf of California, reviving hope for Earth’s most endangered marine mammal. Vaquitas are on the brink of extinction, with fewer than a dozen left. Vaquitas are small, shy members of the porpoise family. They were discovered in 1958 and are found only in the northern part of the Gulf of California. Since the 1990s, their numbers have dropped by about 98%, mainly because they kept getting trapped in fishing nets. In 2019, fishing in the area was banned to protect the vaquitas. Experts from the Mexican government and the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society recently conducted their annual population survey using binoculars and underwater microphones. Vaquitas are famously hard to spot, but the team saw at least one female with…

Grace Carter Research technician, University of Nebraska–Lincoln Bee Lab Bees collect sweet nectar from flowers and store it in a special honey stomach, where it mixes with chemicals called enzymes. In the hive, the bee throws up the nectar, and her sisters help place it in honeycomb cells. They fan their wings to dry it out a bit, then seal each cell with beeswax.

Allergic reactions are triggered by your immune system trying to protect you from something it mistakenly identifies as harmful, like a food. Your body attacks the allergen with histamines, which are chemicals your immune system makes for this purpose. The histamines cause reactions such as tearing up, sneezing, hives, itching, swelling, an upset stomach, and asthma. The most severe reaction is anaphylaxis, which can make it difficult to breathe and be life-threatening if not treated quickly. A device called an EpiPen delivers medicine that can stop anaphylaxis. Blood or skin tests can be used to determine whether someone is allergic to a food. For skin tests, a small amount of the suspected allergen is placed on the skin to see how the patient reacts.…

The third season of the PWHL (Professional Women’s Hockey League) began on November 21. The league has expanded to eight teams with the addition of the new Vancouver Golden eyes and the Seattle Torrent. The Minnesota Frost are the PWHL’s two-time defending Walter Cup champions. Each team will play 30 regular-season games between now and the end of April. To allow more people across North America to see PWHL games in person, the league is bringing back its Takeover Tour. As part of that, 16 games will be played in neutral-site arenas in 11 different cities. Earlier this year, to help ensure that the new teams would be competitive, the Golden eyes and the Torrent drafted players from the original six teams to join their rosters. One of the top…

The American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) in New York City has a new exhibition that explores one of the most dramatic moments in Earth’s history: a giant asteroid crashing into the planet 66 million years ago. Impact: The End of the Age of Dinosaurs uses life-size models, fossils, and the latest scientific research to explain how so much of life on Earth was destroyed—and how it eventually recovered. During the Cretaceous Period (145 to 66 million years ago), the Earth was filled with diverse species of plants and animals on land and in the oceans. That changed after the asteroid, which is thought to have been six to 10 miles wide, struck an area that is now part of Mexico. It caused tsunamis, massive wildfires, and months of darkness,…

By Dan Gemeinhart (Henry Holt and Co.) Oscar is a 12-year-old who has been raised by his grandfather since he was a baby. They live in a retirement home where they are very happy. But when the owner of the retirement home dies, the owner’s son raises the rent and Oscar and his grandfather can’t afford the new price. Meanwhile, Jimmy, one of the home’s new residents, wants to escape. Jimmy makes Oscar an offer: If Oscar helps him sneak out for a few hours to take care of some unfinished business, he’ll pay Oscar enough money so he and his grandfather can afford the new rent. Oscar, who is usually a rule follower, agrees to the deal and creates a distraction that allows Jimmy to sneak out. Once Jimmy…

The holiday season is an ideal time to spread joy among the people who live near you. Making a festive card for a neighbor, volunteering to help them with a chore, or simply spreading kindness can lift their spirits and make your own holiday season feel more meaningful too. Here are some simple and thoughtful ways to help your neighbors. Start small Little acts of kindness, especially during the holidays, can have a larger impact than you might expect.

Share a homemade gift Many people like to show their…

During the holiday season, most paper used to wrap presents gets thrown away. This can be harmful to the environment because the gift wrap and ribbons take up space in a landfill. There are ways you can wrap presents nicely while still being mindful of the environment, however. One option is to wrap items in brown kraft paper. This paper can be recycled or composted, which makes it a more environmentally friendly option. You can also tie up presents in ribbon made from recycled paper or natural fibers, like raffia twine. Another eco-friendly option is to reuse gift bags and boxes from one year to the next.…

A painting by Mexican artist Frida Kahlo sold for $54.7 million on November 20. According to Sotheby’s, the auction house that sold it, it is the highest price paid for a work by a female artist as well as the highest price for a work by any Latin American artist. The painting, called El sueño (La cama), which means“The Dream (The Bed)” in Spanish, was sold to an unknown buyer. Frida Kahlo (1907–1954) was famous for her self-portraits, in which she expressed her thoughts, emotions, and pain. Kahlo, who suffered from long-term illnesses, created the painting as her health was worsening. In it, she is seen resting on a bed with a skeleton hovering above her. “This record-breaking result shows just how far we have come, not only in our…

The administration of President Donald Trump announced changes it wants to make to the Endangered Species Act (ESA) to reduce government regulation. The ESA is a federal law that protects species threatened with extinction. What happened? New rules were proposed that would make it easier for logging, mining, and oil drilling to take place in habitats where endangered species live. The rules are similar to changes Trump made to the ESA during his first Presidential term (2017–2021), which were later reversed by President Joe Biden (2021–2025). Two of the proposals were announced jointly with the US Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries Service. What would the changes do? One change would allow the government to assess economic factors—such as lost revenue from a ban on oil drilling…

Hilary Knight is the captain of the US Women’s National Ice Hockey Team and an Olympic gold medalist. Now the star forward is heading into her fifth and final Winter Olympics in February at the 2026 Milan-Cortina Games in Italy. Knight first put on skates at age 2 and started playing hockey at age 5. “I feel like I came into this world as an athlete,” she told The Week Junior. She broke barriers early, playing on boys’ teams because leagues for girls were rare. At the University of Wisconsin, Knight led the Badgers to national championships in 2009 and 2011. She won an Olympic gold medal in 2018 and took silver in 2010 and 2014. She also set records for goals, assists, and points at the International Ice Hockey…

Male Asian common toads are known for changing the color of their skin from brown to bright yellow for about two days every year. A new study has shown that this glow-up plays a key role in helping the toads find mates. Asian common toads live in India and southeast Asia. When the first monsoons (heavy rains) occur in June, the toads engage in a two-day mass breeding event. Their eggs then have plenty of time to hatch, and the tadpoles can develop into frogs before the climate dries out in winter. With so many toads looking for mates during such a brief breeding period, male toads may get confused and accidentally attempt to mate with other males, different toad species, or even inanimate objects. Since males change to yellow…

Ochre sea stars According to researchers, ochre sea stars have made a comeback on the Oregon coast after they were almost wiped out by deadly bacteria about 10 years ago. Scientists say the recovery shows that sea stars are surprisingly resilient. Christmas Island shrews Australia’s only native shrew has officially been declared extinct. The last sighting of a Christmas Island shrew, a small mouse-like mammal with a long snout, was in 1985. Since 1788, about 40 mammals have gone extinct in Australia.…

Candy Land is a game featuring a colorful fantasy world for young children. Find out about the invention of the world’s sweetest board game. Playing Candy Land The game comes with a board, four character movers, and either cards or a spinner. On each turn, players pick a card or spin the spinner to determine how many spaces they can go. Then they move their character on colorful squares around the board. The first player to reach Candy Castle at the end wins. To play, children only need to be able to recognize colors—they don’t need to know how to read. This makes Candy Land a popular first game for kids as young as age 3. How it began In 1948, Eleanor Abbott, a retired teacher, was diagnosed with polio…

Researchers have discovered a “dinosaur highway” in a quarry in England. The first dinosaur footprints in that area were found in 2024, but 200 more were uncovered this year across four trackways (paths formed by footprints). They were made about 166 million years ago, during the Jurassic Period, when the area was wet and muddy. The site is the largest collection of dinosaur trackways in the UK. The longest spans more than 720 feet, about the length of two football fields, and some of the footprints in it are 3 feet long—more than twice as big as an elephant’s. Massive plant eaters called sauropods made three of the trackways, and the fourth was made by a Megalosaurus, a large, meat-eating dino that was as tall as a two-story house. The…

To create an exhibition’s lifelike dinosaurs, model makers rely on a mix of fossil evidence and scientific inference. They examine well-preserved skeletons and skin impressions that show the texture of the creature’s hide. They also study trackways (fossilized footprints) to understand how a dinosaur stood and moved. That information helps them decide how to shape a model’s feet and posture. Colors rarely fossilize, so no one knows the true color of dinosaur skin. Instead, model makers get ideas from modern reptiles and birds, which tend to have more colorful bodies than mammals do, Benson said. For that reason, the exhibit’s model of the Triceratops, shown above being assembled, was later given orange markings for its finished look.…

“I recently spoke at a city council meeting about why my town should ban single-use Styrofoam. I explained how containers, trays, and cups made from Styrofoam harm the environment because they don’t break down easily and can pollute lakes and rivers when they crumble into tiny pieces. My inspiration came from earning the Environmental Science Merit Badge through Boy Scouts this summer. Seeing nearby cities take this step encouraged me to ask our leaders to do the same. I learned that one voice can help spark change.” Have you done something interesting or raised money for a cause you care about?

December 4, 1918 First President takes trip to Europe On December 4, 1918, President Woodrow Wilson (1913–1921) sailed to Paris, France, on the SS George Washington, becoming the first US President to visit Europe while in office. Wilson went overseas to negotiate the peace treaty that would establish the terms of the end of World War I (1914–1918). He was there for several months, and the Treaty of Versailles was signed in July 1919.…

Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge is one of the largest protected salt marshes in the country. A salt marsh is a wetland that contains saltwater. The refuge, established in 1937, was designed to be a safe space and breeding ground for birds that migrate between Canada and Mexico along a north-south route known as the Atlantic Flyway. American black ducks, greenwinged teal, and great blue herons are some of the water birds that live in the refuge. They are most likely to be seen in November and December on their way south to warmer destinations.…

Children are less likely to develop food allergies if they are introduced to peanut products as infants, a new study found. Experts said the research presents a promising potential solution for dangerous allergies to common foods. About 33 million people in the US have food allergies, including about 5.6 million children. Peanuts are one of the most allergenic foods. About 1% to 2% of people in the US are allergic to them, and only about 20% of people who have a peanut allergy as children outgrow it later in life. Allergic reactions can range from mild symptoms to severe anaphylaxis (see box at right). In 2023, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that the prevalence of food allergies had increased by 50% since the 1990s. For many…

Dani Aravich AGE: 29 SPORT: PARA NORDIC SKIING "I didn't know until I was about 23 years old that I'd be able to be a Paralympian.

When you arrive, you set out to explore the island’s many climates and habitats, looking for a place to begin building. There are beaches, forests, deserts, and a deep mine. Animals you’ll encounter include kangaroo-like jackaroos and pleeps, cross…

What sparked the idea for Busted? More than 10 years ago, I visited a retirement home and thought it was a special place. I wondered: What would it be like for a child to grow up here? How would that change them? What kind of problems would they have? I filed that idea away. During the pandemic, I started writing the story. Describe your writing process. I’m a make-it-up-as-I-go writer. I have an idea for how a book is going to start, and that’s about it. I don’t even make an outline. I rewrite the first several chapters five or six times to get to know my characters. I eventually get a rough draft done, and then I revise it about a dozen more times. How did Busted change from…

Hotel room out of a storybook Fans of classic children’s literature have a new place to rest their heads. A hotel in Massachusetts has turned one of its rooms into a Goodnight Moon suite, re-creating the setting of the book by Margaret Wise Brown. Guests can immerse themselves in the bedroom from the beloved story, with its green walls, tiger-shaped rug, red balloon, and ingredients for a“bowl of mush.” But those hoping to say good night to the Moon through these windows had better hurry—the suite is available only until February.
