Good question, Owen! Workers were doing a test at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in 1986. However, they made several mistakes. For example, the power was too low to do a test. They also prevented the plant from shutting down safely. The staff did not have enough training to prepare for the test. So, it was unsafe for workers to try. When they did, their actions caused one of the reactors to explode. Over the past 40 years, people have learned from their mistakes.

Great question, Kannon! A population is the number of people or animals living in a place. Population growth happens when a population increases over a period of time! Imagine a small town. Ten people live there. A year later, there are twenty people. That means the town has increased! This is called population growth! 📈
