Professor Liderbrock was a respected scientist. He was a great mind in his town. He had a nephew. His name was Axel.
He helped Professor Liderbrock in his experiments. One day, the professor bought an old book to read. When he opened
it, something fell out. It was a secret message written on old paper! Liderbrock and Axel had to put together all the parts
of the puzzle to figure out what it said. The professor read the code to discover that it was a map to the center of the earth.
They decided to start their journey to Iceland. They took the train till they arrived there. Once they arrived, Hans, a
famous explorer, accompanied them in their journey. They walked till they reached a peak of huge volcano, which lead
to the center of earth. They got down with deep concern. After hours, they found a place to rest. The professor checked
the tools they have like thermometer, compass and pressure gauge. He also collected samples of rocks and minerals he
found there to study them. After a few days of walking, Axel lost his company. So, he walked till he reached a forest
with huge mushrooms. At the end of the forest, he found Hans and Liderbrock looking for him. All of them were amazed
when they saw a beach light up with something like the sun. They sailed on a boat they found on the beach. During their
sailing, they saw many extinct sea creatures of old ages.
When they reached an island, they started a fire, but unfortunately, huge numbers of Mammoths ran after them. They hid
in a cave, but stones fell to lock it. They decided to explode the entrance. Once they did it, a huge volcano erupted and
pushed them above. They woke up finding themselves in Italy.

Human beings are a good conductor of electricity which is why electricity flows easily through our body. Our
body is made up of 70% water and electricity is known to move quickly through the water. One more fact to
remember is that electricity will always try to find the easiest path to the earth or ground. Look at the points

Now, read this article about your DNA, and answer the questions below.
Every year on April 25 since 2003, scientists, biologists, and geneticist come together to observe National
DNA Day, celebrating the discovery and research into DNA and the scientific advancements that helped make progress possible. This event is organized annually by the Human Genome Research in the United State.
The goal of National DNA Day is to offer students, teachers and the public an opportunity to learn about and celebrate the latest advances in genomic research and explore how those advances impact their lives. National DNA Day encourages people to learn more about the science of genetics and its continuous development.Here are some facts you never know about your DNA. We’re all 99.9 percent alike, it means we’re all more similar than we are different. Our DNA is responsible for happiness and sadness. It’s in our DNA, in the form of a gene that causes some people to pay more attention to negative feelings than positive one.

As we watch kids grow up, we tend to look for resemblances between them and their parents. However,
in science, it is not a question of which parent contributes more genetically. It is rather whose genetics work more. To make it clearer, resemblance to one parent does not only depend on the total number of genes a child
inherits from a mother or a father, it also depends on which parents' genes are actually doing more. In both ways, scientists think that the answer isn't exactly 50/50.

As we grow older, we become more and more like our parents, whether in our physical traits or our behavioral
traits. But which one of them you resemble more? Are you genetically more similar to your mom or your dad?
The answer to this question may seem easy, but when we relate it to genetics, it would not be that easy. Read the following excerpt:
