This guide explores scientists' ideas for how the Earth got its moon, and the evidence that supports those ideas. Students can even calculate relevant lunar properties for themselves.

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.

This guide covers research investigating how cancer cells can hide from the immune system with the help of cell-surface sugars, as well as related topics.

This guide focuses on the Earth's record temperatures and the bigger issue of climate change, including its worldwide and species-wide effects.

This guide introduces students to the basics of battery design, including the chemical reactions involved, and even encourages students to build and test their own batteries.

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.
