Scientriffic

CSIRO is going downstream. This magazine tries to educate primary and high school students about science. By showing that science can be cool and interesting. The articles tend to be rather breezy and lightweight. But then again, it's for a young audience's attention span. When the competition is TV and video games and manga, it may be inevitable that CSIRO has to pitch its message this way.

At least you can be assured that the underlying science is accurate. The articles vary, from astronomy to archeology to oceanography. The sheer size and diversity of the Australian continent gives the editors a lot of local topics to bring forth. (Though keep in mind that not every article is about stuff in Australia.)
