We’re Celebrating Earth Day 2024! | Twig Science Reporter

This year’s Earth Day focuses on the impact that plastics have on our planet. We’re marking this annual event with two plastic-themed news stories that you should know about:

- Hermit crabs are spotted on camera using plastic, glass, and metal trash as artificial shells.
- AI is being used to monitor and identify types of trash in waterways — helping to keep rivers and oceans clean.

Twig Science Reporter is a unique science news service tailored for K–8 classrooms. Each Thursday, we dive into the biggest news in science, aiming to spark students’ interest through scientific inquiry and reasoning.

It's the ideal resource for educators looking to bring real-world science into their teaching and inspire students to ask questions, explore, and discover.
