Hi Hailey. Two on-line resources for current events in science include
www.the-scientist.com and www.bio.com. The first is more general and the
later is a bit more technical. Hope this helps!

I would recommend Scientific American, Science News and Natural History.
Most of these have great articles online and you can subscribe free. A
full subscription may not be necessary for your needs. I use these
article for current science news to share with student I work with and
keep up to date on new discoveries and information.

Hi Hailey, we get Science News, which I love. It comes once a week and you
can also access it online. It is concise and up-to-date about a variety of
science fields... http://www.sciencenews.org/
I did a quick search and Science Daily showed up - don't know much about it
but that may be an alternative as well... http://www.sciencedaily.com/
And the New Scientist is also a good source of up-to-date news
http://www.newscientist.com/

This might not be exactly what you're looking for, but there is a website
called Science Daily at http://www.sciencedaily.com/
that keeps you updated on current science
news and might be a starting point for you. My eighth grader uses it for
weekly current science homework.

Hailey,
A good quick overview look at the week in Science is Science News. The 16 or so pages of the weekly magazine are packed with short, accurate articles that appeal to both general readers and scientists. If you are looking to really sink your teeth into research articles as well as overviews, the journal Science (published by American Assocaition for the Advancement of Science) or the British journal Nature provide weekly news on the scientific world.
Best of Luck.
