2 PAGE 4 physical science THe case of the foul play ESTIMATED TIME: 40 minutes, plus 24-hour wait time Read a fictional science mystery to learn about how absorbent chemicals can clean air. Then, experiment and use deductive reasoning to solve the mystery. What are some uses for a chemical that can clean foul-smelling scents from the air? (Possible answers: It could be used to freshen areas that develop stinky odors, like closets, garbage cans, and refrigerators.) s Why do you think Mark or Kyle would sabotage his own teammate? (Answers will vary.) What would have been a better way for Mark or Kyle to handle his frustrations with the basketball team? (Answers will vary but could include: Mark and Kyle could have put in extra practice to show Coach Marta that they were working on their game.) Conclusion Baking soda helps regulate ph, the measure of how basic or acidic a substance is. When baking soda comes in contact with an acidic or a basic order, it neutralizes the extreme ph in the air and absorbs the offending scent. This is how baking soda can keep sour (acidic) smells from accumulating in your refrigerator. Since Mark was the one using baking soda for science lab, he s the culprit. RESOURCE Use baking soda s unique chemical properties for these children s crafts activities. PAGE 6 earth Science Path of the jaguar Read how a scientist determined that the most effective way to protect jaguars might not be the most expected. Background Jaguars, tigers, leopards, and lions make up a biological group called Panthera. They re commonly called great cats. Besides their great size, these cats have other differences that set them apart from smaller felines. Only great cats are capable of roaring, and they can purr only while breathing out. Other cats, like house cats, can purr continuously. All great cats are either endangered or threatened. Poaching, habitat loss, and loss of prey are their major threats. How might it be important to understand an endangered animal s biology and behavior before you try to save it? (Answers will vary.) Why does Alan Rabinowitz think protecting jaguar migration paths would be more helpful than simply creating more jaguar sanctuaries? (Answers will vary but should include: Studies of jaguar DNA show the animals must travel long distances to breed and spread their genes. To keep jaguar populations healthy, they need safe routes to travel from habitat to habitat.) RESOURCEs For more about threats to jaguars and conservation efforts, visit this World Conservation Society site. Visit this site for jaguar facts at a glance.

7 PAGE 11 careers PAGE 12 life Science disease epidemiologist Read how a scientist tracks the spread of diseases. Background Not all epidemiologists study infectious disease. Some study lifestyle factors, such as eating fatty foods or smoking, that can affect health or cause an illness. Some epidemiologists specialize in a certain area of interest, such as cancer or heart disease. Dr. Howell specializes in diseases that are passed from mammals to humans. Just as humans have genes that give us different eye or hair color, each flu virus has its own genes that make it unique. The swine flu virus has genetic material from pigs, birds, and humans. What kind of health problem do you think is the most preventable with the right knowledge and precautions? (Answers will vary but could include: Complications from smoking or using drugs, health problems from poor eating habitats.) s What do you think James Howell meant when he said, By explaining the facts of a disease, we help prevent people from panicking...? (Answers will vary. ) How can members of the news media fuel panic over epidemics? How could the media help prevent panic and cover the news responsibly? (Answers will vary. ) RESOURCEs Check out this Web site to learn more about what an epidemiologist does. Invisible Enemies: Stories of Infectious Disease, by Jeanette Farrell (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2005), takes a look at seven infectious disease. It tells the story of their causes and how breakthroughs in their treatment came about. Getting goosebumps Learn how the brain processes fear and why some people enjoy a good scare, while other prefer safer entertainment. Background Scientists say that once you learn to be afraid of something, the memory is always in your brain. To overcome something you dread, your brain has to form new memories to override the old ones. Why are some people naturally more fearful than others? Scientists aren t actually sure. One idea is that more fearful individuals have a weaker connection between the two brain areas that control fear. Another possibility is that fearful people have a unique DNA structure that makes their brains learn fear more easily. Is there anything that used to scare you but doesn t anymore? If so, how did you stop being afraid of that thing or situation? (Answers will vary.) R.L. Stine has said that kids enjoy safe scares and like to know there will be a happy ending. Why do you think this is so? Do you think Stine s books would be as popular if they ended tragically? (Answers will vary. ) RESOURCEs Visit this link for more on R.L. Stine and the entire Goosebumps series. The California Science Center offers this online exhibit on fear and the brain. SuperScience Teacher s Edition SEPTEMBER 2009 T7
