LONDON, England (Achieve3000, May 28, 2019). Armpit cheese. Belly button cheddar. Smelly toe stilton. Getting hungry?

We didn't think so. But you could find strange cheese like this in London. No, not on a dinner plate! It's at the Victoria and Albert (V&A) museum.

The cheese was made with bacteria from human body parts. It's part of a show called "Food: Bigger than the Plate."

Scientists made the cheese. They want to show that not all bacteria are yucky. Some bacteria can get you sick. But other bacteria are good for you. They can help fight illnesses.

Is the cheese safe to eat? Maybe yes. Maybe no. But scientists are testing that in a lab—not in someone's mouth!


What is being created, and from what?


-Cheese

-Bacteria from the human body

CHICAGO, Illinois (Achieve3000, August 26, 2019). Dancers take the stage. They wear tutus and pointe shoes. They're ballet dancers. Right?

But then the beat drops. This dance isn't set to music by Mozart. It's clear this more than tip-toes outside the box. This is hiplet! Hiplet (HIP-lay) mixes ballet with hip-hop. The dancers' moves look straight out of a music video.

Hiplet's gone viral. But it was created more than 20 years ago. Homer Hans Bryant started the Chicago Multi-Cultural Dance Center. He wanted to make ballet more fun for minority dance students.

Millions watch hiplet videos online. They seem to like what they see. But not everyone's down. Some say hiplet isn't true to ballet or hip-hop dance. But Bryant stands by it. And fans have his back.

Which of these is an opinion?

  • Hiplet was created over 20 years ago.
  • Bryant wanted to make ballet more fun.
  • Bryant started a dance center in Chicago.
  • Hiplet is more interesting than ballet.
