Cheese
Heads
Sports fans in Wisconsin
sometimes wear cheese on their head.
Well, not real cheese! They wear
a foam hat that looks like cheese. This
is the way they show their spirit at sports events. Wisconsin is known for making great
cheese. It is a symbol for their
state! The man who had the idea for the
cheese hat is named Ralph Bruno. He made
the first cheese hat in 1987. That is
more than 20 years ago! Cheese hats are
sold in all 50 states and more than 30 countries. This week, Wisconsin is giving Mr. Bruno a
special award for coming up with such a neat idea for a hat.
Traveling
Turtles
Scientists made a new discovery
about sea turtles. They put a special
device on baby sea turtles to see where they swam while they were young. Scientists were very surprised at what they
learned. Young turtles traveled from
Costa Rica all the way to Bermuda. This
is a trip of more than 10,000 miles.
That is a very long way for a little turtle! Scientists found that Bermuda is where many
turtles like to live while they are growing up.
When they are all grown up they will be about the size of a
bathtub. Then they travel to a new,
adult habitat.
Bikes
as Art
Many people love to ride
bicycles. Not only are bicycles a fun
activity on a sunny day, but they are also a great way to get where you need to
go. Many people even ride their bikes to
work instead of driving a car. This
saves them money on gas. More cities are
adding bike lanes to many of the roads.
All of this biking means the bike business is booming. People are buying more bikes than ever! This week was the North American Handmade
Bicycle Show. More than 8,000 people
were at the show in Sacramento, California.
Bikes at this show were made completely by hand—not in a big
factory. They are true works of art!
