Working in pairs, students will analyze a graph of data from one of the cancer experiments described in "Cancer's sweet cloak."

These discussion prompts cover molecular structures and properties of sugars, proteins and lipids, as well as questions related to the immune system and cancer.

Students will explore the history of cancer therapy research by searching the Science News archive.

These questions, based on the Science News article "Cancer's sweet cloak," highlight observations about cell-surface sugars and their ability to hide cancer cells from the immune system.

These questions focus on gravitational waves, gravitational wave detectors and how observing gravitational waves can improve our understanding of the universe.

These student questions focus on autonomous vehicles and the nature of research that will support their widespread use.

Students will design, build, test and optmize their own light-based detector for waves (a simple optical seismometer) and will explore how this detector relates to more sophisticated gravitational wave detectors.

Students will generate and observe waves in a clear pan of water, drawing connections between these waves and light and gravitational waves.

These discussion prompts cover the general properties and types of waves, how humans and other animals detect waves, and the design of laboratory wave detectors.

These discussion prompts cover coral reproduction, photosynthesis and respiration, greenhouse gases, fluorescence and how communities can minimize their impacts on reefs.

Students will answer questions based on the Science News article "Rebuilding reefs."

Three activities give students the opportunity to use and interpret data to look for patterns in coral bleaching alerts.
