Scientific Research

I came across an article on yahoo about a class of 8-10 year-olds, in England, who published a paper in a scientific journal.

After probing a little bit deeper (by clicking a link in the yahoo article) I found the actual report done by these children. I found it to be a fascinating exploration, not only into the intelligence of bees (the subject of their research), but on the intelligence and capabilities of children.

Seriously, this is really cool. The kids did some groundbreaking research. While they were supervised by a competent scientist, they created the experiments and did the research themselves.

So, here's the link to their research:

Enjoy.
