#2 current event adding activity to video gamesz fights obesity, study shows science daily (Jan.10,2007)

This article is about making video games more active because children are very focused on screen games but they can be made healthier if activity is a required part of the game. By using the dance video game both groups burned the most calories, but it was considerably more for the obese group just over six times more than sitting still. About eight hours a day children watch T.V. or play video games. Researchers suggest that they should investigate it more because of the obesity in the country.
This article means a lot to me because i think kids should get exercise and I see a lot of kids watching T.V. or playing video games all the time. I think the researchers are doing a good thing for peoples health and parents will like activities in video games like in the wii because their kids are not just sitting on couches watching T.V. or playing video games for the whole day they are going to be keeping active and getting exercise. So I think the researchers are doing a good thing.

#1 Current Event Dolphins Get A Lift From Delta Wing Technology Sciencedaily (June 28, 2009)


This article is about how dolphins and whales swim through the water and how the flippers glide them through the water. The article described its fins similar to the wings on a airplane. The scientists found that the flippers of the bottle nose dolphin are the most efficient swimmers.
I thought this article was interesting and a good article for people who love to learn about dolphins and it is a good current event. It was interesting that dolphins fins are similar to the wings on a airplane. I believe that the wings are similar because dolphins need strongs fins to guide through the water and airplanes need strong wings to guide them through the air from the wind and gravity.
