Eye of the Storm

The weather had been very windy the last few days. But it was only that morning that it became clear a storm was approaching. The clouds hanging over their heads were dark grey and the air was becoming more humid with every passing moment. Talon watched out from his room. He could hear his parentsContinue reading “Eye of the Storm”

Floating

Talon was stuck on what he’d do for the Science Fair this year. What sort of project would be interesting enough? He’d never be able to beat what he did the other year. Space travel was probably the best he could do. So now he was between looking at gravity, magnets or something to doContinue reading “Floating”

Lighter than Air

They were learning about the elements in class one day. Talon had been unable to sleep last night. So he was struggling to stay awake. He was doodling on the notepad in front of him as the teacher talked about today’s lesson. He drew a cloud with a rose next to it. He wondered aboutContinue reading “Lighter than Air”

Science Projects

Talon always loved to take part in the Science Fair each year. One year he had saved a rocket and patched it up. He even made it into space! But since then, he’d never reached the same level of excitement or complexity. He wasn’t able to get people interested in his Science projects anymore. “It’sContinue reading “Science Projects”

So he decided to go home and brainstorm a bit. He enjoyed the Science Fair each year. Every FairContinue reading “Small Ideas can grow”

Celebrating Science is important because it means we are making progress, investigating the world around us and learning more about the universe. SpaceContinue reading “Science week (AU)”

The Sun Rises

Talon had trouble sleeping that night. So he got up early. Before the sun. He was just putting on a pair of slippers when he looked up. He would be able to watch sun rise that mornning! Sunlight began to stream into his room. He smiled and sat on his bed with the curtains openedContinue reading “The Sun Rises”

A Light in the Dark

Talon would never admit it to his friends. But he had two night lights. One was of a rocket and the other was of the moon. He did not like sleeping without them on! Even since a few years ago. When the power went out and the battery on the night lights stayed on. HeContinue reading “A Light in the Dark”
