Good morning and welcome to Kid News. I'm Tori. Today is Thursday, July 25th, 2019.

microgravity. NASA has already shown what happens to water and other liquids in

space but there's no telling what the mysterious ingredients of slime will do once free of Earth's pull.

The space agency teamed up with Nickelodeon for the experiment, hoping it will get more kids

interested in science. The heat is on and its breaking global records. Following

last week's heat wave across much of the US, Europe is now facing its

second scorcher of the summer.

This is leading meteorologist to predict this month will be the hottest on earth since

record keeping began in 1880.

Today's highs in Paris could hit 108 degrees.

Russell's, Amsterdam, and part of the United Kingdom are also expected to

sizzle their way to new highs.

Nine of the ten hottest years on record have all occurred since the year 2000, with July 2017 holding

the current record as the hottest month. Climate scientists say the burning of fossil fuels for

electricity, heat, and transportation are responsible for the upward trend.

As record-breaking heat tops headlines, one teenage activist is providing a lesson in cool.
