I came across this at Popular Bookstore in Singapore. With discount, I purchased this at SGD50 after checking on the contents. I was impressed because my son was very interested in the magazine. After reading about nutrition of cucumber in chicken rice, he ate the cucumber as recommended in the magazine.
The magazine is for children age 6-12, and being sold in different levels. I believe the magazine is written according to Singapore's syllabus. I cannot find the official website of this magazine. However, the following website provides very good sample and information. I believe the key point is that the magazine delivers the teaching of science in comics form.
In case the website link becomes broken, here's a sample I downloaded from the Google image search for reporting purpose to let you have a feel how well the job was done.
This picture saves a thousand words... There is no need for me to say more.
Now, on how to purchase this magazine. In Singapore, you can find this in major book stores. However, I found out that I can buy this much cheaper in Malaysia through this website if you can deliver this to an address in Malaysia. The website of Leebook indicates that they can ship overseas too (not Singapore). For example, I bought this at RM60 for 10 issues with free delivery and free gifts. In Singapore the selling price was SGD50 (in 2010)! I suspect the magazine sold in Malaysia and Singapore is the same thing but I cannot prove that. At least, from the websites, the magazine's covers look very similar!

Young scientists magazines are printed in KL. They also have Chinese version. I always thought it follow Malaysia's syllabus. A lot of kids in Malaysia like to read them.
There is a new magazine called Science Adventures published by the same publisher who distributed Young Scientists. You can learn more at English Corner Publishers.
