Do tweens and teens believe “fake news”?
Let's be clear: "Fake news" has always existed. From
P.T. Barnum to Ripley's Believe It or Not to
supermarket tabloids, selling outrageous ideas has
long been a part of our culture. Most kids can tell the
difference between the shocking stories they see in
the checkout line and the more evenhanded reporting
they see on the local TV news.
But today's fake online news sources so closely mimic
real news that it's challenging even for adults to
discern what's real and what's fake. Also, kids have
less experience in and context for evaluating news
sources, so certain words or images that might
immediately tell an adult that something is fake or
biased might not have the same effect on kids.
According to Common Sense Media's report, News
and America's Kids: How Young People Perceive and
Are Impacted by the News, less than half of kids
agree that they know how to tell fake news stories
from real ones. When it comes to online news, the
stats reveal a serious lack of faith:
Only about one in four kids who gets news online
think that news posted online is "very accurate."
Only seven percent think news by people they don't
know well is "very accurate."
Tweens are more likely than teens to think that news posted online is "very accurate."
The good news is that kids who get news from social media
sites are trying to be careful readers. Most kids who get their
news from social media say they pay "a lot" or "some"
attention to the source the link on social media takes them
to. And the majority who get news online say that when they
come across information in a news story that they think is
wrong, they "sometimes" or "often" try to figure out whether
or not it's true.

Read the text below and answer the following question.
Redefining the Kilogram
The kilogram is shrinking.
The official object that defines the mass of a kilogram is a
tiny, 139-year-old cylinder of platinum and iridium that
resides in a triple-locked vault near Paris. Because it is so
important, scientists almost never take it out; instead they
use copies called working standards. But the last time they
did inspect the real kilogram, they found it is roughly five
parts in 100 million heavier than all the working standards,
which have been leaving behind a few atoms of metal every
time they are put on scales. This is one of the reasons the
kilogram may soon be redefined not by a physical object but
through calculations based on fundamental constants.
“This [shrinking] is the kind of thing that happens when you
have an object that needs to be conserved in order to have
a standard,” says Peter Mohr, a physicist at the National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), who serves
on the committee that oversees the International System of
Units (SI). “Fundamental constants, on the other hand, are
not going to change over time.”
The redefinition of the kilogram will be part of a planned
larger overhaul to make SI units fully dependent on
constants of nature. Representatives from 57 countries will
vote on the proposed change this month at a conference in
Versailles, France, and the new rules are expected to pass.
What will happen to the old kilogram artifacts after the
redefinition? Rather than packing them off to museums,
scientists plan to keep studying how they fare over time.
“There is so much measurement history on these,” says
physicist Stephan Schlamminger of NIST. “It would be
irresponsible to not continue to measure them.”
