Learn more about the cool anatomy of the great white shark that put them at the very top of the ocean food chain.
  • Deadliest dinosaurs that ever existed — While stumbling across any live dinosaur is likely to send anyone running in terror, these ferocious beasts are the six deadliest dinosaurs to have ever walked the Earth. Coming across any of these menacing monsters means there is definitely no escape.
  • Are you left or right brained? — Are people who are right-brained really artistic and creative, and are people who are left-brained really analytical and good at math? Let’s have a look at how this amazing organ in our head works and see what science says!

Description

Welcome to the great white shark issue! When our team first decided to feature the great white shark, I’ll admit that I was mostly excited about the action it would bring. Lots of people are fascinated by danger and power, and those are definitely two words I would have previously used to describe great whites. But, after learning more about them, I’ve found that we can all learn a few important things from sharks!

The first is that we each have a unique contribution to make to this world – just like sharks do as apex predators at the top of their food chain. Sharks can also teach us to be curious! This is a big thing at Supernova for obvious reasons (uhhhh – we’re the mag for curious kids). Sharks love to see what others are up to and get a closer look at things. So, don’t be afraid to explore your world and learn more about it. Most importantly, we can learn to just keep swimming. Sharks literally have to keep moving forward in order to stay alive. Life will throw you curveballs, but don’t give up.

Enjoy learning more about these epic creatures, and stay curious, kids!
