Science Scope (November 2003)
This high-interest unit teaches students about microbes and introduces them to careers in epidemiology by allowing them to investigate an outbreak themselves. For the simulated outbreak, one class represents the victims and the other acts as Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) researchers. Extension activities are included.

Science Scope (October 2001)
Teachers can use this inspiring article and poster to introduce students to careers in the Earth and space sciences. The authors discuss the interdisciplinary nature of the geosciences, job opportunities and prospects, and their relevancy to many economic and environmental issues. Opportunities available through AGU (American Geophysical Union), AGI (American Geological Institute), and NSTA—including workshops, awards, curriculum materials, AGI’s Earth Science Week, the NSTA Institute, and Building a Presence for Science—also are discussed.
