Monthly roundup: Curiosity Rover on Mars, immunity against COVID-19 and a live Q&A session
Hello,
Happy July! Teachers— maybe you wanted to learn more about our resources but you never had the time during the school year? Now’s the moment:
We have two live Q&A sessions coming up in July and August. They are free, but pre-registration is required. Sign up to let us know if you're considering joining one of the sessions.
This month, we have three new adapted scientific articles:

How do estuaries improve water quality? is about how exactly estuaries work as natural filters for water before it reaches the ocean.

In What can we learn from carbon on Mars?, researchers collected and analyzed samples of carbon from Mars using the Curiosity Rover.
#Chemistry #Astronomy #Space
That’s not all!
Check out the full collection of articles to introduce kids to cutting-edge research in space and astronomy.
We also offer a curated list of teaching activities about space! Any one of these activities would pair perfectly with our adapted articles on the subject for an engaging astronomy lesson.
Our reading collection of scientific research on discrimination highlights different forms of discrimination and prejudice, as well as the impacts they can have and ways to take action.
Finally, we have a new episode of our Ask-a-Scientist podcast! Hear about the magic of glass frogs from biomedical engineer and researcher Dr. Junjie Yao:
We offer only high-quality FREE science teaching resources. Please, share with educators in your networks!
