AP Science (science)


REVIEWED BY: Ms. Cairo

MY RECOMMENDATION: YES

AMAZON SUBSCRIPTION LINK: AP Science, by the Associated Press

WEB ADDRESS: http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/fronts/SCIENCE?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME

BLOG DESCRIPTION: The Associated Press is considered one of the oldest and most decorated media outlets in the world, priding itself on providing comprehensive, unbiased coverage to newspapers, radio programs, television and online customers. The AP’s Science News is updated around the clock to inform you about the latest scientific research, advances and technologies.

MY REVIEW: All the science news you need, collected together on your Kindle. Highly recommended. The articles are written from between a 8th-10th grade reading level, presumably, suitable for mass consumption of people who read newspapers. So the articles don't go into great detail, but you get the news you need to know.
