  Hey children! Welcome to KidsCast! Today, we are going to talk on a really tasty topic! The Invention of the Potato Chips ! Yeah, it sounds amazing. The potato chips you eat, has an amazing History. In fact, the potato chips were invented by a mistake! So let us start with this article. Years ago, in 1853, when it was summer, a customer was waiting for his dinner in a restaurant. This restaurant's name was: Moon Lake's House and was located in Saratoga Springs, New York (in the USA). As he wanted to try something new, he told George Crum, the chef to make him something off the menu of the restaurant.

So, the chef made it again, and this time he sliced thinner potatoes, fried them, added salt and served the customer the dish. Still, the customer didn't like it and chef to ret

Hello Kids! Welcome to KidsCast! As you all might know what are skyscrapers, today, we are going to explore some of the world's best future skyscrapers, which are to be made in a few years! Are you excited? So Let's Start!  1)  The Jeddah Tower (Kingdom Tower): The Jeddah Tower also known as Kingdom Tower and it will be built in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. It will become tallest skyscraper and taller than Burj Khalifa in Dubai, and will be the tallest skyscraper in the world in future! It is planned to be of 1km . It will have 168 floors .  The construction started on 1 April 2013.   The construction is currently on hold due to issues with the contractor. This beautiful design is created by Am erican Archit ect Adrian Smith. The creator and leader of this project is the present country's prince  Al-Waleed bin Talal, who  is the grandson of Ibn Saud. This building will have all kinds of amenities such as  office, hotel, residential, apartments, observation, retail. The cost of t

Hello children! Welcome to KidsCast ! And today we are going to talk about the tallest mountain in our Solar System! Have you ever wondered where or how much big the tallest volcano would be?  Well no worries! We are here to solve all your queries about it.  Olympus Mons  is an enormous shield   volcanic mountain  on the planet Mars . The volcano has a height of 21 km (13 miles). Amazing right? This was measured by the Mars orbiter laser altimeter (MOLA).  Olympus Mons is about two and a half times Mount Everest's  height above sea level. It is the largest volcanoes ever discovered, and it is the tallest mountain in our Solar System! So let us now learn more about it. The Word "MONS" - So now lets find out what mons is. "Mons" is the latin word which means "Mountain". There are many different kinds of Mons (Mountains) with this name, for example- Arcreaus Mons -  Arcreaus Mons is a large shield of volcano located in the Tharsis region of the planet Mar

Hello Kids, Welcome to KidsCast!! You might be knowing that astronauts study the space by going there, but do you know exactly where do they go? Actually they go to the International Space Station (or ISS), International Space Station is a hovercraft or a large spacecraft which was built by many countries together. In fact, this is a kind of flying or hovering Space Research Station. The countries which made the ISS were: NASA - United States of America JAXA - Japan Roscosmos - Russia ESA - European Union CSA - Canada Countries which built the International Space Station Its Importance: Now you would be thinking what is the use of it? Answer to this question is that it is a space observatory (a place where astronomical bodies are observed), Laboratory (a place where researches and experiments are done) and factory . It was made so that emergency situaions like crashing of space craft could be prevented. In future it may be used for missions to go to Mars, Moon and Asteroids. Current lo

  This article is just as interesting as it sounds! The Driverless Car (also called Self-Driving Car) , which you all might be really be waiting for years, have just made a greater evolution! But before getting to know about this evolution, let us first discuss all about this Driverless Car Technology! Just for information, the Driverless Car isn't just one car. It describes the technology used for all the Self-Driving Cars made till today! So let us start!  As the name suggests, a self-driving car is a car which doesn't actually need a driver to drive the car. It means, that with the help of scanning, and detecting other cars and vehicles, the driverless car can drive on itself! You would think, that how is it actually possible? But we gotta tell you, that the technology is rising, and so is the common world! In fact, the future of this world after a few years, actually is all about Self-driving cars, and other futuristic stuff. Anyway, let us learn more about these Self-Dri

  Antarctica is an icy island which is so big, and is at the southernmost tip of the Earth. Thus, the South Pole is located at the center of the Antarctica continent. Yes, Antarctica is an Continent. As you can see in the picture above, it is really big. It is the 5th Largest Continent in the World. But you know, there is not much life here, that is, not much people live in Antarctica. Only people come here for research and exploration. There are only small mountains, icebergs, and thick ice here. Let us know more about Antarctica! So above is the World Map, and you can see that Antarctica is at the most southern point. And on World Map it seems that it is Long, but it is actually kind of a circular shape, as you can see at the main picture at the starting of this Article. So this was all about Antarctica's general information. Now let us visit and check out Antarctica from inside, and see how is it. After seeing this picture, you'll get more interested. It's just that it&

Hello Children! As today is Earth Day , hence we had written this Article. Children, did you know plastic was first made by accident in 1907 by a Belgian-American chemist Leo Baekeland? The same plastic that was a new discovery then is now ending up in natural environments like the oceans that disrupt many aquatic life forms. Plastic pollution was first noticed as a problem when scientists were carrying out the plankton study in the late 1960s and the early 1970s. During researching the Sargasso Sea marine biologist Ed Carpenter first found white specks floating around brown sargassum seaweed later they realized it was plastic. If we all start now by making rules to not use plastic and stop throwing waste into oceans it's a start to save the planet.      Global warming  Global warming I'm sure you’ve heard of, you should know just because we can see it in front of our faces doesn't mean it's not happening. Global warming is one of the ways we are hurting the planet an
