DISASTER RECOVERYWe often hear about disasters like floods, earthquakes and fires on the news. But when the news stops reporting the story, it doesn't mean the disaster is over. It can take years to rebuild a country and sometimes disease and lack of nutrition can be an issue long after the initial catastrophic event. Tash looks at the long-term impact of disaster and how countries recover.CLIMATE VS WEATHEROver the past few years we've heard a lot about climate change. Lots of scientists say the earth's heating up and it could affect the world we live in. Over the past few weeks there's been some pretty extreme weather events - floods in Pakistan and a heatwave in Russia. So does it have anything to do with global warming? Well, not necessarily. Sarah talks to the weather experts to learn the difference between weather and climate. BLOOD DIAMONDSA couple of weeks ago supermodel Naomi Campbell appeared in a United Nations court... but it wasn't for crimes against fashion. It's actually a very serious trial where the former president of Liberia is accused of war crimes. So how is a supermodel involved? Well it's about a gift she was given more than ten years ago... something now known as a blood diamond... Nathan explains why a sparkling diamond may sometimes hide a dark secret. CHEESE SCHOOLWhen you think of chemistry lessons, you probably imagine test tubes and Bunsen burners - but not cheese.In Queensland, cheese-making has become an important classroom activity. Teenagers are being taught how to make and appreciate cheese in the hope it will help them to understand chemistry.
